General Relativistic Stellar Structure Equations in Julia

Understanding the characteristics of the condensed matter within neutron stars (NSs) is an important objective in astrophysics. By measuring the properties of NSs, we are able to obtain clues about the kind of strange matter that reside within them. We develop a new Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff (TOV) solver in the Julia language to generate data that simulates various characteristics of many NSs when provided an equation of state (EOS). We then make connections between the data from our solver to what is known from real world observations.
