Crystalline Structure in the Confined-Deconfined Mixed Phase: Neutron Stars
نویسنده
چکیده
We review the differences in first order phase transition of single and multi-component systems, and then discuss the crystalline structure expected to exist in the mixed confined deconfined phase of hadronic matter. The particular context of neutron stars is chosen for illustration. The qualitative results are general and apply for example to the vapor-liquid transition in subsaturated asymmetric nuclear matter.

Signal of Quark Deconfinement in Millisecond Pulsars and Reconfinement in Accreting X-ray Neutron Stars
Theoretically, the phase transition between the confined and deconfined phases of quarks can have a remarkable effect on the spin properties of millisecond pulsars and on the spin distribution of the population of x-ray neutron stars in lowmass binaries. In the latter class of stars, the effect has already been observed—a strong clustering in the population in a narrow band of spins. The observ...
متن کاملInternal Constitution of Neutron and Strange Stars
In the first of these two lectures I will discuss the rich constitution of neutron stars as a consequence of the Pauli principle which is engaged by the dominance of gravity over the nuclear force. Three especially interesting phenomena are discussed in this contect—(1) a mechanism for the formation of low-mass black holes distinct in their mass-range from the black holes formed in the prompt c...

One of the most intriguing consequence of the extreme conditions inside neutron stars is the possibility of the natural existence of a deconfined strange quark matter phase in the high density interior of the star. The equation of state (EOS) of strange quark matter (SQM) was recently improved in the framework of the MIT bag model by including medium effects. It was found that medium effects in...
متن کاملPhase transition from quark-meson coupling hyperonic matter to deconfined quark matter
We investigate the possibility and consequences of phase transitions from an equation of state (EOS) describing nucleons and hyperons interacting via mean fields of σ, ω, and ρ mesons in the recently improved quark-meson coupling (QMC) model to an EOS describing a Fermi gas of quarks in an MIT bag. The transition to a mixed phase of baryons and deconfined quarks, and subsequently to a pure deco...
متن کاملNeutron stars and quark phases in the NJL model
Abstract We study the possible existence of deconfined quark matter in the interior of neutron stars using the Nambu–Jona-Lasinio model to describe the quark phase. We find that typical neutron stars with masses around 1.4 solar masses do not possess any deconfined quark matter in their center. This can be traced back to the property of the NJL model which suggests a large constituent strange q...
