Can the Moment of Inertia of Massive Neutron Stars be Used to Constrain the Hyperon Couplings?

In the framework of the relativistic mean field theory(RMFT) with GL91 cets, the momentum of inertia (I) of slowly rotating neutron stars is studied by perturbative approach. The scalar hyperon coupling should lie in the range of X_σ=0.59~1.0 to be compatible with massive neutron stars. As X_σ increases from 0.59 to 1.0, the maximum momentum of inertia(I_max) of neutron (protoneutron) stars increases by 89% (60%). According to the data of Crab, the maximum energy loss(dE/dt) of neutron (protoneutron) stars will increase by 44%(25%)and the maximum magnetic field (B) will increase by 48%(38%). I and dE/dt of PSR J0348+0432 both increase by 14%, while B decreases by 10% as X_σ increases from 0.59 to 1.0. So if the upper bound of I, or the accurate values of both the mass and I of neutron stars could be provided by the astronomical observations, the hyperon couplings should be further constrained in the future.
