Quark matter nucleation in neutron stars and astrophysical implications

I Bombaci, D Logoteta, I Vidana… - The European Physical …, 2016 - Springer
A phase of strong interacting matter with deconfined quarks is expected in the core of
massive neutron stars. We investigate the quark deconfinement phase transition in cold (T=0 …

Charged anisotropic matter with a linear equation of state

S Thirukkanesh, SD Maharaj - Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2008 - iopscience.iop.org
We consider the general situation of a compact relativistic body with anisotropic pressures in
the presence of the electromagnetic field. The equation of state for the matter distribution is …

Some charged polytropic models

PM Takisa, SD Maharaj - General Relativity and Gravitation, 2013 - Springer
Abstract The Einstein–Maxwell equations with anisotropic pressures and electromagnetic
field are studied with a polytropic equation of state. New exact solutions to the field …

Regular models with quadratic equation of state

SD Maharaj, P Mafa Takisa - General Relativity and Gravitation, 2012 - Springer
We provide new exact solutions to the Einstein–Maxwell system of equations which are
physically reasonable. The spacetime is static and spherically symmetric with a charged …

Quark deconfinement and implications for the radius and the limiting mass of compact stars

I Bombaci, I Parenti, I Vidana - The Astrophysical Journal, 2004 - iopscience.iop.org
We study the consequences of the hadron-quark deconfinement phase transition in stellar
compact objects when finite-size effects between the deconfined quark phase and the …

Compact models with regular charge distributions

P Mafa Takisa, SD Maharaj - Astrophysics and Space Science, 2013 - Springer
We model a compact relativistic body with anisotropic pressures in the presence of an
electric field. The equation of state is barotropic, with a linear relationship between the radial …

GW190814: Circumstantial evidence for up-down quark star

Z Cao, LW Chen, PC Chu, Y Zhou - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
Within a confining quark matter model which considers phenomenologically the quark
confinement and asymptotic freedom as well as the chiral symmetry restoration and quark …

Anisotropic charged physical models with generalized polytropic equation of state

A Nasim, M Azam - The European Physical Journal C, 2018 - Springer
In this paper, we found the exact solutions of Einstein–Maxwell equations with generalized
polytropic equation of state (GPEoS). For this, we consider spherically symmetric object with …

Maximum mass of a class of cold compact stars

R Sharma, S Karmakar, S Mukherjee - International Journal of …, 2006 - World Scientific
We calculate the maximum mass of the class of compact stars described by the Vaidya–
Tikekar27 model. The model permits a simple method of systematically fixing bounds on the …

Isovector properties of quark matter and quark stars in an isospin-dependent confining model

PC Chu, LW Chen - Physical Review D, 2017 - APS
The confining quark matter (CQM) model, in which the confinement and asymptotic freedom
are modeled via the Richardson potential for quark-quark vector interaction and the chiral …
