Quark matter nucleation in neutron stars and astrophysical implications

I Bombaci, D Logoteta, I Vidana… - The European Physical …, 2016 - Springer
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 …
