(A) NEUTRON STARS
1. The outermost surface of the neutron star contains a very thinatmosphere of only a few centimeters thick that is composed ofHydrogen, but may also contain heavier elements such as Helium andCarbon.
2. Just below the atmosphere lies the 100m thick envelope that actsas “blanket” between the hot interior (with T ×108 K) and the “cold”surface (with T × 106 K). (outer crust)
3. Further below lies the non-uniform crust, a 1 km region that isbelieved to be involved in pulsar glitches—the sudden increase inrotational frequency of the star. (inner crust)
4. Below the non-uniform crust sits a uniform liquid core thatconsists of neutrons, protons, electrons, and muons. The core accountsfor practically all the mass and for about 90% of the size of a neutronstar. There is also a possibility of an inner core made of exotic particles,such as hyperons, meson condensates, and quark matter

Basic Structure
Equation of states (EOS) of neutron star matters
•If the composition and the interaction of the matters in neutronstar core are determined (not certain yet), the relation betweenpressure p and energy density ε (e.g. EOS) can be determined.

white dwarf (WD): another kind of compact stars.
• Chandrasekhar set a famous mass limit for the white
dwarf——the mass of a white dwarf cannot exceed
1.44M ⊙. This limit is obtained from the fact that in a
white dwarf the inward gravitational force is balanced by
the outward pressure produced by the degenerate
electrons.
(B) White Dwarfs
• Accelerated expanding Universe was established through
the observations of SNeIa (2011 Nobel prize).
arXiv:1411.1515v1
• Ia supernovae (SNeIa): the violent thermonuclear
explosion when the mass of an accreting WD in a binary
system approaches the Chandrasekhar limit of 1.44M⊙.
This character can be used as standard candles in
measuring cosmic distances.
New observations for the massive compact stars
For neutron stars:
• PSR J1614+2230: 1.97± 0.04 M⊙,
• PSRJ0348+0432: 2.01± 0.04 M ⊙;
For white dwarfs:
• The progenitors of Ia supernovae SN2003fg, SN2006gz,
SN2007if and SN2009dc: in a range of 2.1M ⊙ ~ 2.8M ⊙

Most of the observed NSs with masses around 1.4M⊙
Most of the observed WDs with masses below 1M⊙
• The classical equation of state (EOS) of white dwarf and many of theEOS of neutron star matters are not stiff enough to support a WD/NSwith a mass over 2.8M ⊙.
• These situations promote a discrepancy between the compact starobservations and the theories of the compact star matters.

II. The discrepancy between the EOSs and the observations
For neutron stars:
• Theoretically, hyperons ( or Kaon condensates, or quark matters)might be present in the core of neutron stars, and the appearance ofnew particles will results in the softening of matters. For example,the contribution to the pressure from energetic nucleons is replacedby that of the slowly-moving, massive hyperons .
• As to the unconfined quark matters, if a higher bag constant ispreferred (such as B1/4 = 170 MeV) in the MIT bag model, the EOSof the quark matter is also soft.

where ρq is the charge density, k is proportionality factor, Mp is the mass of a proton, e is the charge of an electron/proton.
where k0 is the charge fraction, a is a constant describing the width of the Gaussian.

The inverse square-law (ISL) of gravity is expected to be
violated, especially at less length scales due to either the
geometrical effect of the extra space-time dimensions predicted
by string theories and/or the exchange of the weakly interacting
bosons newly proposed in the super-symmetric extension of the
standard model.
In stable neutron stars, the gravity has to be balanced by the
strong interaction. Neutron stars are thus provided a natural
testing ground for the non-Newtonian gravity.
The deviation from the Inverse-Square-Law of gravity can be characterizedeffectively by adding a Yukawa term to the normal gravitational potential
In the scalar/vector boson (U-boson ) exchange picture,
Within the mean-field approximation, the extra energy density andthe pressure due to the Yukawa term is
