One of the major uncertainties in the dense matter equation of state has been the nuclear
symmetry energy. The density dependence of the symmetry energy is important in nuclear …

The recent measurement of two solar mass pulsars has initiated an intense discussion on its
impact on our understanding of the high-density matter in the cores of neutron stars. A task …

Context. The recent measurement of mass of PSR J1614-2230 rules out most existing
models of the equation of state (EOS) of dense matter with high-density softening due to …

We review some recent results about the mechanism of deconfinement of hadronic matter
into quark matter in cold neutron stars and protoneutron stars. We discuss the role of finite …

The precise measurements of the high masses of the pulsars PSR J 1614-2230 (M 1614=
1.97±0.04 M⊙) and PSR J 0348-0432 (M 0348= 2.01±0.04 M⊙) provide an important …

In this paper, we explore whether or not quark deconfinement may occur in high-mass
neutron stars such as J1614− 2230 (1.97±0.04 M⊙) and J0348+ 0432 (2.01±0.04 M⊙). Our …

We study the equation of state and composition of hypernuclear matter within a relativistic
density functional theory with density-dependent couplings. The parameter space of …

This study presented a new exact solution for anisotropic compact stellar objects within the
framework of f (R)= R+ α R 2 gravity. In this context, the Durgapal-Fuloria metric potential …

We describe charge-neutral neutron star matter in β-equilibrium using hybrid equations of
state (EOSs), where a first-order phase transition from hadronic to quark matter is realized …

We investigate the surface tension σ and the curvature energy γ of quark matter drops in the
MIT bag model with vector interactions. Finite size corrections to the density of states are …
