We compare quark stars made of color-superconducting quark matter to normal-conducting quark stars. We focus on the most simple color-superconducting system, a two-flavor color superconductor, and employ the Nambu\char21{}Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model to compute the gap parameter and the equation of state. By varying the strength of the four-fermion coupling of the NJL model, we study the mass and the radius of the quark star as a function of the value of the gap parameter. If the coupling constant…

Color superconductivity in a self-consistent NJL-type model
• Physics
• 2020
In this paper, the NJL-type model is used to investigate the color superconductivity. The four-fermion interactions of the NJL-type model are Fierz-transformed into two different classes, i.e., the

A Polyakov chiral $$\text {SU(3)}$$ SU(3) quark mean-field (PCQMF) model is applied to study the properties of strange quark matter (SQM) and strange quark star (SQS) in $$\beta$$ β
Phase space and quark mass effects in neutrino emissions in a color superconductor
• Physics

We study the phase space for neutrino emissions with massive quarks in direct Urca processes in normal and color superconducting quark matter. We derive in QCD and the NJL model the Fermi momentum

The recent observation of the pulsar PSR J1614-2230 with a mass of 1.97 ± 0.04 M ☉ gives a strong constraint on the quark and nuclear matter equations of state (EoS). We explore the parameter ranges
Equation of state and hybrid star properties with the weakly interacting light U-boson in relativistic models

Abstract.It has been a puzzle whether quarks may exist in the interior of massive neutron stars, since the hadron-quark phase transition softens the equation of state (EOS) and reduce the neutron
