In recent years our understanding of neutron stars has advanced remarkably, thanks to
research converging from many directions. The importance of understanding neutron star …

A review is given of various theoretical approaches for the equation of state (EoS) of dense
matter, relevant for the description of core-collapse supernovae, compact stars, and compact …

Accurate knowledge of the thermodynamic properties of zero-temperature, high-density
quark matter plays an integral role in attempts to constrain the behavior of the dense QCD …

Matter at high density and low temperature is expected to be a color superconductor, which
is a degenerate Fermi gas of quarks with a condensate of Cooper pairs near the Fermi …

We study the mass-radius curve of hybrid stars, assuming a single first-order phase
transition between nuclear and quark matter, with a sharp interface between the quark …

We investigate the quark deconfinement phase transition in the context of binary neutron
star (BNS) mergers. We treat hadronic matter using a Brueckner-Hartree-Fock quantum …

We perform an O (α s 2) perturbative calculation of the equation of state of cold but dense
QCD matter with two massless and one massive quark flavor, finding that perturbation theory …

We show that a hybrid (nuclear+ quark matter) star can have a mass-radius relationship very
similar to that predicted for a star made of purely nucleonic matter. We show this for a …

Recent progress in the determination of both masses and radii of neutron stars has put
strong constraints on the equation of state (EoS) above the nuclear saturation density. Within …

Since the release of the 2015 Long Range Plan in Nuclear Physics, major events have
occurred that reshaped our understanding of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and nuclear …
