Recently, a set of cold representative equations of state have been derived from calculations based on chiral effective field theory, combined with constraints from neutron star observations. This made it possible to derive an uncertainty band for the equation of state and the radius of cold neutron stars. In this work, we study finite temperature effects on realistic equations of state of hot and dense matter and the resulting behavior in a core-collapse supernova. Using a method for including thermal effects in the equation of state, we investigate the impact of finite-temperature microphysics on the radii of neutron stars.
