In this work, under the hypothesis that quark matter may not be strange (Holdom et al. 2018), we adopt a modification of the coupling constant of the four-quark scalar interaction $G\rightarrow G_1+G_2\langle\bar{\psi}\psi\rangle$ in the…

Neutron stars are the densest objects in the Universe, with $M \sim 1.4 M_{\odot}$ and $R \sim 12$ km, and the equation of state associated to their internal composition is still unknown. The extreme conditions to which matter is subjected…

The properties of hadron-quark hybrid stars are studied when the quark phase is described in terms of a local SU(3) Nambu--Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model taking into account the contribution of the vector and axial-vector interaction between the…
Binary neutron star mergers and proto-neutron stars provide unique environments where dense matter is hot, lepton rich, and potentially undergoes a transition from hadronic to deconfined quark matter. We investigate the thermodynamics and…
