New class of hybrid EoS and Bayesian MR data analysis

D Alvarez-Castillo, A Ayriyan, S Benic… - The European Physical …, 2016 - Springer
We explore systematically a new class of two-phase equations of state (EoS) for hybrid stars
that is characterized by three main features: 1) stiffening of the nuclear EoS at …

Camouflage of the phase transition to quark matter in neutron stars

W Wei, B Irving, M Salinas, T Klähn… - The Astrophysical …, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
It has been known for some time that compact stars containing quark matter can
masquerade as neutron stars in the range of measured mass and radius, making it difficult to …

Constraints on the nuclear equation of state from nuclear masses and radii in a Thomas-Fermi meta-modeling approach

D Chatterjee, F Gulminelli, AR Raduta, J Margueron - Physical Review C, 2017 - APS
The question of correlations among empirical equation of state (EoS) parameters
constrained by nuclear observables is addressed in a Thomas-Fermi meta-modeling …

Influence of the stiffness of the equation of state and in-medium effects on the cooling of compact stars

H Grigorian, DN Voskresensky, D Blaschke - The European Physical …, 2016 - Springer
Measurements of the low masses for the pulsar PSR J0737-3039B, for the companion of
PSR J1756-2251 and for the companion of PSR J0453+ 1559, on the one hand, and of the …

Neutron star mass limit at 2M supports the existence of a CEP

D Alvarez-Castillo, S Benic, D Blaschke, S Han… - The European Physical …, 2016 - Springer
We point out that the very existence of a “horizontal branch” in the mass-radius
characteristics for neutron stars indicates a strong first-order phase transition and thus …

Effect of Strong Magnetic Field on Competing Order Parameters in Two‐Flavor Dense Quark Matter

T Mandal, P Jaikumar - Advances in High Energy Physics, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
We study the effect of strong magnetic field on competing chiral and diquark order
parameters in a regime of moderately dense quark matter. The interdependence of the chiral …

Mixed phase within the multi‐polytrope approach to high‐mass twins

D Alvarez‐Castillo, D Blaschke… - Astronomische …, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
We present a multi‐polytrope approach to describe high‐mass twins fulfilling chiral effective
field theory estimations of the neutron star equation of state and test it against the …

Bayesian analysis for a new class of hybrid EoS models using mass and radius data of compact stars

A Ayriyan, DE Alvarez-Castillo, S Benic… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2017 - arxiv.org
We present a Bayesian analysis for a new class of realistic models of two-phase equations
of state (EoS) for hybrid stars and demonstrate that the observation of a pair of high-mass …

Energetic emissions from deconfinement in compact stars and their relation to the critical end point in the QCD phase diagram

DE Alvarez-Castillo - arXiv preprint arXiv:1602.01504, 2016 - arxiv.org
In this work we study the case of deconfinement in compact star interiors in the presence of a
strong first order phase transition associated to a critical end point in the QCD phase …
