-\subsection{Finite-Temperature Nuclear} +\subsection{Finite-Temperature Nuclear EOS}
-\textbf{TODO: Not yet documented; not even mentioned yet in some other - sections of this documentation.} +Complex microphysical finite-temperature equations of state come +usually in tabulated form. {\tt EOS_Omni} comes with routines +provided as part of the \texttt{nuc_eos} package described in +\cite{oconnor:10} and available at \ {\tt + http://www.stellarcollapse.org%7D. A variety of EOS tables for +application in high-density astrophysical situations (i.e. in stellar +collapse or in compact star mergers) are also available from there +in HDF5 format.
+The parameters controlling the finite-temperature nuclear EOS +are the following:
+\begin{tabular}{lll} +\texttt{nuceos_read_table}& BOOLEAN & Set to {\tt yes} to read table.\ +\texttt{do_energy_shift}& BOOLEAN & Set to {\tt yes} to subtract the energy shift\ +&& stored in the table to get correctly normalized $\epsilon$.\ +\texttt{nuceos_table_name}& STRING & Path/Name of the table file. +\end{tabular}
