Abstract
An equation of state (EOS) for uniform nuclear matter is constructed at zero and finite temperatures with the variational method starting from the realistic nuclear Hamiltonian composed of the AV18 two-body potential and the UIX three-body potential. The maximum mass of the cold neutron star with this EOS is 2.2 M⊙. Making use of uncertainty of the three-body nuclear force, adjustable parameters in the EOS are tuned so that the Thomas-Fermi calculations for β-stable nuclei reproduce the empirical data. The obtained EOS is appropriate for constructing a new nuclear EOS table for supernova simulations.
