Abstract

We parameterize the core of compact spherical star configurations by a mass (mxm_x) and a radius (rxr_x) and study the resulting admissible areas in the total-mass vs. total-radius plane. The employed fiducial equation-of-state models of the corona at radii rrxr \ge r_x and pressures ppx=p(r=rx)p \le p_x = p(r = r_x) are that (i) of constant sound velocity and (ii) a proxy of DYΔ\Delta DD-ME2 provided by Buchdahl's exactly solvable ansatz. The core (r<rxr < r_x) may contain any type of material, e.g. Standard-Model matter with unspecified equation of state or/and an unspecified Dark-Matter admixture. Employing a toy model for the cool equation of state with first-order phase transition we discuss also the mass-radius relation of compact stars with an admixture of Dark Matter in a Mirror-World scenario.
