In this work, I'm solving Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff equations to construct a static non-rotating neutron star with a description of equation of state which could be either piecewise polytropic or, provided as table.

- surface finding algorithm
- EOS table format with interpolation
- calculation of tidal deformability
- test against results from https://bitbucket.org/bernuzzi/tov/src/master/

Code It is still very slow but the results of non-rotating NS sequences matches up to less than 10% against the result from https://bitbucket.org/bernuzzi/tov/src/master/ which I'd recommend for high precision and computationally low-cost data.
To Do:
- add thermodynamimc consistent interpolation of EOS tables.
- add numerical error in maximum mass and interpolation error.
- Include rotation profile to the neutron stars
- Make code faster
- Make julia code;
