We investigate self-bound quark stars in a flavor-dependent quark-mass density-dependent model with an excluded-volume correction. We chart the parameter space at zero pressure to identify self-bound regimes, including parametrizations in…
We describe the quark substructure of hadrons and the equation of state of high density neutron star matter by using the Nambu$-$Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model, which is an effective quark theory based on QCD. The interaction between quarks fully…

Because of the mass density-dependence, an extra term should be added to the expression of pressure. However, it should not appear in that of energy according to both the general ensemble theory and basic thermodynamic principle. We give a…
Excluded volume effects are incorporated in the quark meson coupling model to take into account in a phenomenological way the hard core repulsion of the nuclear force. The formalism employed is thermodynamically consistent and does not…

Observable properties of neutron stars are studied within a hadronic equation of state derived from the quark level. The effect of short-range repulsion is incorporated within the excluded volume framework. It is found that one can sustain…
In this contribution, we outline a new 2-phase description of the quark-nuclear matter hybrid equation of state that takes into account effects of phase space occupation (excluded volume) in both, the hadronic and the quark matter phases.…
We derive scaling laws that connect certain macroscopic observables of strange quark stars with key microscopic properties of self-bound quark matter, such as the energy per baryon at zero pressure and the strength of repulsive…
We investigate the properties of strange quark matter at zero temperature including medium effects. The quarks are considered as quasiparticles which acquire an effective mass generated by the interaction with the other quarks of the dense…
(Abridged) Neutron stars (NSs), the densest known objects composed of matter, provide a unique laboratory to probe whether strange quark matter is the true ground state of matter. We investigate the parameter space of the equation of state…
The single-flavor excluded-volume model based on the effective size of baryons reproduces the hard-soft density evolution of the equation of state (EoS) required by the recent studies of GW170817. This phenomenological model basically…
In this work a density dependent quark model is revisited, its thermodynamic consistency checked and the stability window for absolutely stable quark matter obtained. The hypotheses of both pure quark matter with equal quark chemical…
This paper investigates the properties of strongly coupled matter at high baryon densities (\(\rho_B\)) in quark stars (QSs). The QS model is based on the density-dependent quark mass (DDQM) framework, modified (MDDQM) by enhancing the…
This study describes the impact of non-zero value of strange quark mass $(m_{s})$ and number density of baryons $(n)$ on the structure, stability and maximum mass of strange stars. We derive an exact relativistic solution of the Einstein…
The stability and equation of state of quark matter are studied within both two-flavor and (2+1)-flavor Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) models including the vector interactions. With a free parameter $\alpha$, the Lagrangian is constructed by two…
Using a density dependent quark mass (QMDD) model for strange quark matter, we investigate the effects of non-Newtonian gravity on the properties of strange stars and constrain the parameters of the QMDD model by employing the mass of PSR…
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…
