Hyperons in dense matter are investigated by employing a recently constructed hyperon nucleon (YN) potential together with a parameterization of the pure nucleon equation of state. The YN potential is a so called low-momentum potential obtained with renormalization group methods. The densities at which hyperons appear in neutron star (NS) are calculated at zero temperature in Hartree-Fock approximation. By comparing several different bare YN potentials in the RG approach and by varying the parameters for nuclear matter over a wide range it turns out that the presence of hyperons in NS is very robust. This result has profound consequences for the mass and radius of NS.
