We perform a Bayesian analysis in the basis of a recently developed two-parameter class of hybrid equations of state that allow for high-mass compact star twins. While recently a wide range of radii, from 9 - 15 km, has been inferred for different neutron stars using different techniques, we perform our analysis under the supposition that the radii are towards the large end (13−15 km). We use this radius constraint together with the undebated statistically independent constraint for high masses (∼2M⊙) as priors in selecting the most probable hybrid equations of state from a family with two free parameters: the baryon excluded volume in the hadronic phase and the 8-quark vector channel interaction in the quark matter phase.
