Abstract : The composition of the dense interior of a neutron star core is unknown to us and is still under investigation. The neutron star's composition is thought to be largely neutron-rich nuclear matter with a few leptons and exotic degrees of freedom, at densities a few times the nuclear saturation density . This matter is modelled by the neutron star equation of state (EoS) and various parameters in this EoS (called nuclear matter parameters; NMPs) decide the properties of the constituent matter. These NMPs have an impact on the neutron star observables, such as mass, radius, and tidal deformability as well as provide crucial insights into the finite nuclei. The correlations among different NMPs help in determining the relations between the astrophysical observables and finite nuclei observables. In this study, we investigate how constraints on finite nuclei and neutron star observables affect neutron star EoS within the framework of the relativistic mean field approach. Our investigation helps us formulate the neutron star EoS in harmony with measurements, such as binding energies and charge radii, available on finite nuclei. This study will thus shed light on the correlation between laboratory findings and astrophysical observations, in the context of neutron stars.
