Compact Stars - How Exotic Can They Be?

Solar and Stellar Astrophysics 2013-10-23 v1 Nuclear Theory

Abstract

Strong interaction physics under extreme conditions of high temperature and/or density is of central interest in modern nuclear physics for experimentalists and theorists alike. In order to investigate such systems, model approaches that include hadrons and quarks in a unified approach, will be discussed. Special attention will be given to high-density matter as it occurs in neutron stars. Given the current observational limits for neutron star masses, the properties of hyperonic and hybrid stars will be determined. In this context especially the question of the extent, to which exotic particles like hyperons and quarks affect star masses, will be discussed.
