An equation of state is considered that, in superdense nuclear matter, results in a phase transition of the first kind from the nucleon state to the quark state with a transition parameter Lambda> 3/2. A calculation of the integrated…
Short-range quark-quark correlations are introduced into the quark-meson coupling (QMC) model in a simple way. The effect of these correlations on the structure of the nucleon in dense nuclear matter is studied. We find that the short-range…
The critical densities and impact of forming \D resonances in neutron stars are investigated within an extended nonlinear relativistic mean-field (RMF) model. The critical densities for the formation of four different charge states of \D…
According to the general theory of relativity, a massive body induces curvature in the surrounding spacetime. In this study, the surface curvature (SC) of neutron stars is computed using various curvature quantities derived from the…
We study rapidly spinning compact stars with equations of state featuring a first order phase transition between strongly coupled nuclear matter and deconfined quark matter by employing the gauge/gravity duality. We consider a family of…
It has been suggested that both X-ray bursters and millisecond radio pulsars may be strange (quark) stars, rather than neutron stars. Confirming (or rejecting) this suggestion may require knowing what role strong-field effects of general…
The interiors of high mass compact (neutron) stars may contain deconfined quark matter in a crystalline color superconducting (CCS) state. On a basis of microscopic nuclear and quark matter equations of states we explore the internal…
The cores of neutron stars (NSs) contain the densest matter in the universe. Rapid advancements in neutron-star observations allow unprecedented empirical access to cold, ultra-dense Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) matter. The combination of…
The possible existence of compact stars made of absolutely stable strange quark matter--referred to as strange stars--was pointed out by E. Witten almost a quarter of a century ago. One of the most amazing features of such objects concerns…
The gravitational radiation from compact pulsar-like stars depends on the state of dense matter at supranuclear densities, i.e., the nature of pulsar (e.g., either normal neutron stars or quark stars). The solid quark star model is focused…
In this lecture I present a pedagogical introduction to the low-energy phenomenology of light flavors. The renormalization scheme freedom in defining QCD parameters is discussed. It is shown in some details how one can extract an accurate…
We explore the dependence of the critical density, separating hadronic matter from a mixed phase of quarks and hadrons, on the ratio $Z/A$. We use both the MIT bag model and the Color Dielectric Model to describe the quark dynamics, while…
We investigate realistic models of compact objects, focusing on neutron and strange stars, composed by dense matter and dark energy in the form of a simple fluid or scalar field interacting with matter. For the dark energy component, we use…
Recent data on cosmological variation of the electromagnetic fine structure constant from distant quasar (QSO) absorption spectra have inspired a more general discussion of possible variation of other constants. We discuss variation of…
A new improved quark mass density-dependent model including u, d quarks, $\sigma$ mesons, $\omega$ mesons and $\rho$ mesons is presented. Employing this model, the properties of nuclear matter, neutron matter and neutron star are studied.…
In Hoyos et al. (arXiv:1603.02943) a holographic D3/D7 system was used to describe a deconfined yet massive quark phase of QCD at finite density, concluding that the equation of state of such a phase was not stiff enough to support exotic…
As we go from center toward the surface of a neutron star, the state of baryonic matter changes from the de-confined quark-gluon to a mixed phase of quark and hadronic matter, and a thin crust of hadronic matter. For the quark matter,…
We derive a new Banks-Casher-type relation which relates the density of complex Dirac eigenvalues at the origin to the BCS gap of quarks at high density. Our relation is applicable to QCD and QCD-like theories without a sign problem, such…
The effect of the QCD phase transition is studied for the mass-radius relation of compact stars and for hot and dense matter at a given proton fraction used as input in core-collapse supernova simulations. The phase transitions to the 2SC…
The recent detection of gravitational waves from merging neutron star events has opened a new window on the many unknown aspects of their internal dynamics. A key role in this context is played by the transition from baryon to quark matter…
