Description

Considering the octet baryons in relativistic mean field theory and selecting entropy per baryon S = l, we calculate and discuss the influence of U bosons on the equation of state, mass-radius, moment of inertia and gravitational redshift of massive protoneutron stars (PNSs). The effective coupling constant gu of U bosons and nucleons is selected from 0 to 70 GeV-2. The results indicate that U bosons will stiffen the equation of state (EOS). The influence of U bosons on the pressure is more obvious at low density than high density, while the influence of U bosons on the energy density is more obvious at high density than low density. The U bosons play a significant role in increasing the maximum mass and radius of PNS. When the value of gu changes from 0 to 70 GeV-2, the maximum mass of a massive PNS increases from 2.11M to 2.58M, and the radius of a PNS corresponding to PSR J0348 + 0432 increases from 13.71 km to 24.35 km. The U bosons will increase the moment of inertia and decrease the gravitational redshift of a PNS. For the PNS of the massive PSR J0348 + 0432, the radius and moment of inertia vary directly with gu, and the gravitational redshift varies approximately inversely with gu. (authors)
