Scientific paper

A relativistically covariant theory of nuclear matter is solved in the mean-field approximation for both symmetric nuclear matter and neutron-star matter, and in limiting cases in which pions condense at an effective mass equal to the vacuum value, and in which they do not condense because the assumed effective mass is too large with respect to the electrical chemical potential. The parameters of a theory of matter are fitted to the known bulk properties of nuclear matter, except for the compression modulus, which takes values between 100 and 285 MeV. Values of less than 200 MeV are found to be incompatible with observed neutron-star masses.
