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…
Recent observational data suggests a high compacticity (the quotient M/R) of some "neutron" stars. Motivated by these works we revisit models based on quark-diquark degrees of freedom and address the question of whether that matter is…
For almost twenty years the effects of a nonzero strange quark mass on the equation of state of cold and dense QCD were considered to be negligible, thereby yielding only minor corrections to the mass-radius diagram of compact stars. By…

The NJL model has recently been extended with a method to simulate confinement. This leads in mean field approximation to a natural mechanism for the saturation of nuclear matter. We use the model to investigate the equation of state of…
