Stability of hybrid stars via catastrophe theory

Eduardo S. Fraga, Sergio E. Jorás

We discuss the possible topologies of the mass-radius relation for hybrid stars in light of catastrophe theory. We show that different branches of compact stars emerge or disappear…

Transport coefficients of chiral fluid dynamics using low-energy effective models

Pedro Nogarolli, Gabriel S. Denicol, Eduardo S. Fraga

We investigate the first-order transport coefficients of a fluid made of quasiparticles with a temperature-dependent mass extracted from chiral models. We describe this system usin…

SU(3) parity doubling in cold neutron star matter

Eduardo S. Fraga, Rodrigo da Mata, Jürgen Schaffner-Bielich

We present a phenomenological model to investigate the chiral phase transition characterized by parity doubling in dense, beta equilibrated, cold matter. Our model incorporates eff…

Hot perturbative QCD in a very strong magnetic background

Eduardo S. Fraga, Letícia F. Palhares, Tulio E. Restrepo

We compute the pressure, chiral condensate and strange quark number susceptibility from first principles within perturbative QCD at finite temperature and very high magnetic fields…

Long Range Plan: Dense matter theory for heavy-ion collisions and neutron stars

Alessandro Lovato, Travis Dore, Robert D. Pisarski +61

Since the release of the 2015 Long Range Plan in Nuclear Physics, major events have occurred that reshaped our understanding of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and nuclear matter at l…

Chiral restoration of strange baryons

Eduardo S. Fraga, Rodrigo da Mata, Savvas Pitsinigkos +1

We review the results of a phenomenological model for cold and dense nuclear matter exhibiting a chiral phase transition. The idea is to model the quark-hadron phase transition und…
