Abstract

In this paper, we introduce a self-consistent mean field approximation to study the QCD phase transition and the structure of hybrid stars within the framework of NJL model. In our practice, a phenomenological parameter is introduced, which reflects the weights of "direct" channel and "exchange" channel under a finite chemical potential. The mass-radius relation is obtained by solving the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff equation using a crossover equation of state (EOS). We calculate the density distribution in a two solar-mass hybrid star to show the effects of different parameters. We also calculate the tidal Love number and the deformability . It is found that the stiffness of the EOS increases with , which allows us to obtain a hybrid star with a maximum mass of 2.40 solar-mass through our model. The observation of over 2.06 solar-mass neutron stars may indicates that the chiral transition may be a crossover on the whole plane.
