Neutron Stars and the High Density Equation of State

Nuclear Theory 2010-03-04 v1

Abstract

One of the key ingredients to understand the properties of neutrons stars is the equation of state at finite densities far beyond nuclear saturation. Investigating the phase structure of quark matter that might be realized in the core of NS inspires theory and observation. We discuss recent results of our work to point out our view on challenges and possibilities in this evolving field by means of a few examples.
