The hyperon coupling constants and the surface gravitational redshift of massive neutron stars

With relativistic mean field theory we examine effect of hyperon coupling constants of hyperon Xi on the surface gravitational redshift of the massive neutron star (NS) PSR J1614-2230 and NS PSR J0348 + 0432 as the potential well depth of hyperon Xi is fixed. We find that the mass and radius of a NS increase with the increase of the coupling constant of hyperon Xi. With the increase of the coupling constant of the hyperon Xi, the surface gravitational redshift will decrease for a same NS mass but will increase for a same NS radius. The surface gravitational redshift of the more massive NS PSR J0348 + 0432 decreases by more than that of the less massive NS PSR J1614-2230. We also find that the value range of the surface gravitational redshift of NS will become narrower with the increase of the coupling constant of hyperon Xi. The greater the NS mass, the greater the influence of the coupling constant of hyperon Xi on the value range of the surface gravitational redshift of the NS.
