From Neutron Stars to Strange Stars
Fridolin Weber
This paper discusses several most intruigung astrophysical implications connected with the possible absolute stability of strange quark matter.This is followed by a discussion of t…
Signal of Quark Deconfinement in Millisecond Pulsars and Reconfinement in Accreting X-ray Neutron Stars
Norman K. Glendenning, Fridolin Weber
Theoretically, the phase transition between the confined and deconfined phases of quarks can have a remarkable effect on the spin properties of millisecond pulsars and on the spin…
Evolution from Canonical to Millisecond Pulsar through the X-ray Accretion Stage
Norman K. Glendenning, Fridolin Weber
We model the evolution of canonical pulsars from the death line to millisecond pulsars through the X-ray neutron star stage of accretion from a low-mass companion. We trace this ev…
Signal for the Quark-Hadron Phase Transition in Rotating Hybrid Stars
Fridolin Weber, Norman K. Glendenning, Shouyong Pei
For the past 20 years it had been thought that the coexistence phase of the confined hadronic and quark matter phases, assumed to be a first order transition, was strictly excluded…
Dense Stellar Matter and Structure of Neutron Stars
Fridolin Weber, Norman K. Glendenning
After giving an overview of the history and idea of neutron stars, I shall introduce, in part one of my lectures, a representative collection of models for the equation of state of…
From Quark Matter to Strange Machos
F. Weber, Ch. Schaab, M. K. Weigel +1
This paper gives an overview of the properties of all possible equilibrium sequences of compact strange-matter stars with nuclear crusts, which range from strange stars to strange…
