We investigate interacting quark matter (IQM), including the perturbative QCD correction and color superconductivity, for both up-down quark matter ($ud$QM) and strange quark matter (SQM). We first derive an equation of state (EOS) unifying all cases by a simple reparametrization and rescaling, through which we manage to maximally reduce the number of degrees of freedom. We find, in contrast to the conventional EOS $p=1/3(\rho-4B_{\rm eff})$ for non-interacting quark matter, that taking the… Expand

Bayesian Inference of Strange Star Equation of State Using the GW170817 and GW190425 Data

The observations of compact star inspirals from LIGO/Virgo provide a valuable tool to study the highly uncertain equation of state (EOS) of dense matter at the densities in which the compact starsExpand
Extremal Instability for Topological Black Holes
The basic idea underlying the Weak Gravity Conjecture is that extremal black holes must always be “unstable”, in the sense that they should slowly decay by emitting either particles or smaller blackExpand

Probing the Nuclear Equation of State from the Existence of a ∼2.6 M⊙ Neutron Star: The GW190814 Puzzle
• Computer Science, Physics
• Symmetry
• 2021
This work examines possible constraints on the nuclear equation of state inferred from the consideration that the low mass companion is a slow or rapidly rotating neutron star, and systematically studies the tidal deformability of a possible high mass candidate existing as an individual star or as a component one in a binary neutron star system.
