Elementary particles such as quarks and gluons are expected to be fundamental degrees of freedom at ultra high temperatures or densities, while natural phenomena in our daily lives are described in terms of hadronic degrees of freedom.…
We study the effects of dark matter on the properties of hybrid neutron stars, in particular the influence on the mass-radius relation, the value of the maximum mass, and the hadron-quark phase transition. To single out the equilibrium…
Using a phenomenological model with vector-type interactions, we discuss a role of repulsive force in the quark-hadron phase transition at high density. For realization of the quark phase at high density, strong vector coupling is needed in…

Starting from the relativistic Brueckner-Hartree-Fock theory for nuclear matter and the Dyson-Schwinger equation approach for quark matter, the possible hadron-quark phase transition in the interior of a neutron star is explored. The…
We analyze the impact of several multi-quark interaction channels on the properties of hybrid stars. Four and eight vector interactions were included in the $SU(3)$ NJL model to describe the quark matter, and all vector like interactions…
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…
