We construct the equation of state (EOS) nuclear matter at finite temperature and density with various proton fractions within relativistic mean field (RMF) theory for use in supernova simulations. The Thomas-Fermi approximation is adopted to describe non-uniform where we consider nucleus, alpha-particle, neutron equilibrium. treat uniform consistently using RMF theory. tabulate outcome as pressure, free energy, entropy etc, enough mesh points wide ranges temperature, fraction, baryon mass density.
