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 …

We investigate the possibility that the low mass companion of the black hole in the source of
GW190814 was a strange quark star. This possibility is viable within the so-called two …

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 …

Using the solutions of the gap equations of the magnetic-color-flavor-locked (MCFL) phase
of paired quark matter in a magnetic field, and taking into consideration the separation …

In this paper we review the status of the current knowledge about the magnetic field effects
on color superconductivity (CS) at asymptotically high densities and discuss possible …

We used the statistical measurements of information entropy, disequilibrium and complexity
to infer a hierarchy of equations of state for two types of compact stars from the broad class …

We study the quark deconfinement phase transition in hot β-stable hadronic matter.
Assuming a first order phase transition, we calculate the enthalpy per baryon of the hadron …

Aims. We study the nucleation of quark matter drops at the center of cold deleptonized
neutron stars. These drops can be made up of unpaired quark matter or of color …

A phase of strong interacting matter with deconfined quarks is expected in the core of
massive neutron stars. In this article, we perform a study of the hadron-quark phase …

We use an effective quark model to describe both hadronic matter and deconfined quark
matter. By calculating the equations of state and the corresponding neutron star properties …
