Compatibility of Exotic States with Neutron Star Observation

Abstract

We consider the effect of hard core repulsion in the baryon-baryon interaction at short distance to the properties of a neutron star. We obtain that, even with hyperons in the interior of a neutron star, the neutron star mass can be as large as $\sim 2M_{\odot }$.
