Strange Phases in Neutron Stars
arXiv:nucl-th/9802030
Abstract
The equation of state and the properties of neutron stars are studied for a phase transition to a charged kaon condensate. We study the mixed phase by using Gibbs condition with comparison to the hitherto applied Maxwell construction. Implications for kaon condensation and for the mass-radius relation of condensed neutron stars are examined.
