The main features of the EOS of neutron star matter are reviewed,
comprising nucleonic, hyperonic, and quark matter contributions.
The focus in on the Brueckner-Hartree-Fock theoretical method,
but also other approaches will be regarded.

Constraints on the nuclear equation of state, following from heavy ion collisions and from structure, are reviewed. The collisions produce matter transiently reaching densities few times the normal. Isolating observables testing such densities is challenging, though, and interpretation of those observables suffers from theoretical uncertainities. Structure observables can be generally...

In the dense interior of compact stars the composition might change
considerably. Due to weak equilibrium in neutron star matter particles
carrying strangeness can appear changing the overall global properties as well
as the transport properties of compact stars. The new pulsar mass limit of two
solar masses gives new information on the presence of strange matter in the
core of compact...
