Improved spectral representations of neutron-star equations of state
Lee Lindblom
Abstract
Spectral representations have been shown to provide an efficient way to represent the poorly understood high-density portion of the neutron-star equation of state. This paper shows how the efficiency and accuracy of those representations can be improved by a very simple change.
