Kaon condensation in the quark-meson coupling model and compact stars

Astrophysics 2009-11-11 v1 Nuclear Theory

Abstract

The properties of neutron stars constituted of a crust of hadrons and an internal part of hadrons and kaon condensate are calculated within the quark-meson-coupling model. We have considered stars with nucleons only in the hadron phase and also stars with hyperons as well. The results are compared with the ones obtained from the non-linear Walecka model for the hadronic phase.
