Hybrid stars that masquerade as neutron stars
- M. Alford, M. Braby, Mark Wayne Paris, S. Reddy
- Physics
- 4 November 2004
We show that a hybrid (nuclear+quark matter) star can have a mass-radius relationship very similar to that predicted for a star made of purely nucleonic matter. We show this for a generic…
QCD at finite baryon density: nucleon droplets and color superconductivity
- M. Alford, K. Rajagopal, F. Wilczek

Color flavor locking and chiral symmetry breaking in high density QCD

Color superconductivity in dense quark matter
- M. Alford, K. Rajagopal, T. Schaefer, A. Schmitt
- Physics
- 17 March 2000
Matter at high density and low temperature is expected to be a color superconductor, which is a degenerate Fermi gas of quarks with a condensate of Cooper pairs near the Fermi surface that induces…
Generic conditions for stable hybrid stars
- M. Alford, Sophia Han, M. Prakash
- Physics
- 19 February 2013
We study the mass-radius curve of hybrid stars, assuming a single first-order phase transition between nuclear and quark matter, with a sharp interface between the quark matter core and nuclear…
The Massive Pulsar PSR J1614?2230: Linking Quantum Chromodynamics, Gamma-ray Bursts, and Gravitational Wave Astronomy
- F. Ozel, D. Psaltis, S. Ransom, P. Demorest, M. Alford
- Physics
- 27 October 2010
The recent measurement of the Shapiro delay in the radio pulsar PSR J1614–2230 yielded a mass of 1.97 ± 0.04 M ☉, making it the most massive pulsar known to date. Its mass is high enough that, even…

Viscous damping of r-modes: Large amplitude saturation
- M. Alford, S. Mahmoodifar, K. Schwenzer
- Physics
- 17 March 2011
We analyze the viscous damping of r-mode oscillations of compact stars, taking into account non-linear viscous effects in the large-amplitude regime. The qualitatively different cases of hadronic…
