At the ultra-high densities existing in the core of neutron stars, it is expected that a phase transition from baryonic to deconfined quark matter may occur. Such a phase transition would affect the underlying equation of state (EoS) as…

The analyses for the NICER data imply $R_{2.0M_\odot}=12.41^{+1.00}_{-1.10}$ km and $R_{1.4M_\odot}=12.56^{+1.00}_{-1.07}$ km, indicating the lack of significant variation of the radii from $1.4 M_\odot$ to $2.0 M_\odot$. This feature…
