The inner structure of hybrid stars

Astrophysics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

Hybrid stars with extremely high central energy density in their core are natural laboratories to investigate the appearance and the properties of compactified extra dimensions with small compactification radius -- if these extra dimensions exist at all. We introduce the necessary formalism to describe quantitatively these objects and the properties of the formed hydrostatic equilibrium. Different scenarios of the extra dimensions are discussed and the characteristic features of these hybrid stars are calculated.
