%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% readme.first %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% This is a short note on the usage of the relativistic EOS table. Please read through before you use the table. [Documents] The detailed description on the EOS table can be found in the file ('guide.ps' or 'guide.tex') or the references below. [Refereces] Please refer the following two papers on the EOS table whenever you publish scientific articles by using this EOS table. 1) Relativistic equation of state of nuclear matter for supernova and neutron star, H. Shen, H. Toki, K. Oyamatsu and K. Sumiyoshi, Nuclear Physics A637 (1998) 435-450. 2) Relativistic equation of state of nuclear matter for supernova explosion, H. Shen, H. Toki, K. Oyamatsu and K. Sumiyoshi, Progress of Theoretical Physics, 100 (1998) 1013-1031. [Future updates] There may be updates or bug fixes that are not yet on the web. We would like to keep you informed in case of a possible change of the table. For that purpose, we recommend you to inform us your name, e-mail address and institution, if you have not done so. [Bug reports] If you find any error or strange behavior, please contact and report us. Although we are sure about the smoothness, the completeness and the consistency of the EOS tables, we cannot fully exclude possiblity of erroneous data in the huge table. [Comments, Suggestions] We would appreciate it very much if you could give us comments or suggestions on the table. They would be helpful for us to develop the future version of the relativistic EOS table. Use the form below if you like. [Correspondance] Dr. K.
