We review the properties of hybrid stars with a quark matter core and a hadronic mantle,
focusing on the role of key micro-physical properties such as the quark/hadron surface and …

In the present work, we investigate the effects of dark matter (DM) on hybrid star properties.
We assume that dark matter is mixed with both hadronic and quark matter and interacts with …

Compact stars (CS) are stellar remnants of massive stars. Inside CSs the density is so high
that matter is in subatomic form composed of nucleons. With an increase of density of matter …

We study the structure of quark stars (QSs) adopting homogeneously confined matter inside
the star with a 3-flavor neutral charge and a fixed strange quark mass m s. We explore the …

The composition of the core of neutron stars (NSs) is still under debate. One possibility is
that because of the high densities reached in their cores, matter could be deconfined into …

At the ultrahigh densities existing in the core of neutron stars (NSs), it is expected that a
phase transition from baryonic to deconfined quark matter may occur. Such a phase …

At super-saturation densities, quarks in the core of neutron stars (NSs) have been a subject
of intense investigation for last few decades. In particular, an intriguing conjecture has …

It has been shown recently that quark-hadron conversions at the interface of a hybrid star
may have a key role on the dynamic stability of the compact object. In this work we perform a …

We study hybrid stars considering the effects on stellar stability of the hadron-quark
conversion speed at the sharp interface. The equation of state is constructed by combining a …

We propose a three-flavor version of the Polyakov-Nambu-Jona-Lasino (PNJL) model at
zero temperature regime, by implementing a traced Polyakov loop (Φ) dependence in the …
