Hyperonic Stars and the Nuclear Symmetry Energy

In the present study we analyse the effect of the density dependence of the symmetry energy on the hyperonic content of neutron stars within a relativistic mean field description of stellar matter. For the Λ-hyperon, we consider parametrizations calibrated to Λ-hypernuclei. For the Σ and Ξ-hyperons...
