Abstract

We construct the relativistic equation of state (EOS) of dense matter covering a wide range of temperature proton fraction and density for the use of core-collapse supernova simulations. The study is based on the relativistic mean-field (RMF) theory which can provide an excellent description of nuclear matter andfinite nuclei. The Thomas-Fermi approximation is adopted to describe the non-uniform matter which is composed of a lattice of heavy nuclei.We present two types of results. The first one takes into account only the nucleon degree of freedom while the second one considers additional contributions from Lambda hyperons. We tabulate the resulting EOS with an improved design of ranges and grids.
