IntroductionNeutron Star: Surface and InteriorCore density > nuclear densityExotic matter???No terrestrial experiments seempossible at such high densities andrelatively low temperatures.Figure courtesy D. PageMany equation of state (EoS)models for the <strong>neutron</strong> <strong>star</strong> corematter are available in theliterature. We need to constrainthese models by observing <strong>neutron</strong><strong>star</strong>s.The constituents of <strong>neutron</strong> <strong>star</strong> interiors remain a mystery after 40years.
