  Background: Nuclear energy-density functional (EDF) approach has been widely
used to describe nuclear-matter equations of state (EoS) and properties of
finite nuclei. Recent advancements in neutron-star (NS) observations have put
constraints on the nuclear EoS. The Korea-IBS-Daegu-SKKU (KIDS) functional has
been then developed to satisfy the NS observations and applied to homogeneous
nuclear matter and spherical nuclei. Purpose: We examine the performance of the
KIDS functional by calculating the masses and charge radii of even-even nuclei
towards the drip lines. Method: The Kohn-Sham-Bogoliubov equation is solved by
taking into account the axial deformation. Results: The root-mean-square
deviation of the binding energy and the charge radius for the KIDS functional
is 4.5--5.1 MeV and 0.03--0.04 fm, which is comparable to that for existing
EDFs. The emergence and development of nuclear deformation in open-shell nuclei
are well described. The location of the neutron drip line is according to the
nuclear-matter parameter characterizing the low-mass NS. Conclusions: The
NS-observation-inspired EDF offers a reasonable reproduction of the structures
of finite nuclei. A future global optimization including more nuclear data will
give better accuracy and high predictive power of neutron-rich nuclei.
