From hadrons to quarks in neutron stars: a review

G Baym, T Hatsuda, T Kojo, PD Powell… - Reports on Progress …, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
In recent years our understanding of neutron stars has advanced remarkably, thanks to
research converging from many directions. The importance of understanding neutron star …

Phases of dense matter in compact stars

D Blaschke, N Chamel - The Physics and Astrophysics of Neutron Stars, 2018 - Springer
Formed in the aftermath of gravitational core-collapse supernova explosions, neutron stars
are unique cosmic laboratories for probing the properties of matter under extreme conditions …

The state of matter in simulations of core-collapse supernovae—Reflections and recent developments

T Fischer, NU Bastian, D Blaschke… - Publications of the …, 2017 - cambridge.org
In this review article, we discuss selected developments regarding the role of the equation of
state in simulations of core-collapse supernovae. There are no first-principle calculations of …

Compact stars with sequential QCD phase transitions

M Alford, A Sedrakian - Physical review letters, 2017 - APS
Compact stars may contain quark matter in their interiors at densities exceeding several
times the nuclear saturation density. We explore models of such compact stars where there …

Quark-nuclear hybrid star equation of state with excluded volume effects

MAR Kaltenborn, NUF Bastian, DB Blaschke - Physical Review D, 2017 - APS
A two-phase description of the quark–nuclear matter hybrid equation of state that takes into
account the effect of excluded volume in both the hadronic and the quark-matter phases is …

Chiral symmetry restoration and matter formation in neutron stars

M Marczenko, K Redlich, C Sasaki - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
We analyze the effects of chiral symmetry restoration in hadronic matter, including the lowest-
lying baryonic resonance Δ based on the parity doublet model. We study the role of Δ and its …

High-mass twin stars with a multipolytrope equation of state

DE Alvarez-Castillo, DB Blaschke - Physical Review C, 2017 - APS
We show that in the three-polytrope model of Hebeler et al.[Astrophys. J. 773, 11 (2013)
AJLEEY 0004-637X 10.1088/0004-637X/773/1/11] for the neutron star equation of state …

Constraining strangeness in dense matter with GW170817

RO Gomes, P Char, S Schramm - The Astrophysical Journal, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
Particles with strangeness content are predicted to populate dense matter, modifying the
equation of state of matter inside neutron stars as well as their structure and evolution. In this …

Chiral symmetry restoration by parity doubling and the structure of neutron stars

M Marczenko, D Blaschke, K Redlich, C Sasaki - Physical Review D, 2018 - APS
We investigate the equation of state for the recently developed hybrid quark-meson-nucleon
model under neutron-star conditions of β-equilibrium and charge neutrality. The model has …

Do current astronomical observations exclude the existence of nonstrange quark stars?

T Zhao, W Zheng, F Wang, CM Li, Y Yan, YF Huang… - Physical Review D, 2019 - APS
As is pointed out in a recent work [Phys. Rev. Lett. 120, 222001 (2018)
10.1103/PhysRevLett. 120.222001], quark matter may not be strange. Inspired by this …
