Abstract
The effect of the mesons and on the surface gravitational redshift of the neutron star PSR J0348+0432 is examined in the framework of the relativistic mean field theory by choosing the suitable hyperon coupling constants. We find that compared with that without considering the mesons and , the value range of the radius of the neutron star PSR J0348+0432 would be changed from a narrow range 12.964 km km to a wider range 12.941 km km corresponding to the observation mass . We also find that the value range of the surface gravitational redshift of the neutron star PSR J0348+0432 changes from 0.3469 to 0.3480 corresponding to the observation mass with the mesons and being considered. This means that the radius and the surface gravitational redshift both will be constrained in a wider scope with the mesons and being considered. We also can see that the difference of the radius and the surface gravitational redshift is not so large whether the mesons and are considered or not. This indicates that the mesons and do not play a major role in the massive neutron star PSR J0348+0432.
