Phase Transitions in Dense Baryonic Matter and Cooling of Rotating Neutron Stars
Fridolin Weber, Rodrigo Negreiros
New astrophysical instruments such as skA (square kilometer Array) and IXO (formerly Constellation X) promise the discovery of tens of thousands of new isolated rotating neutron st…
Electrically Charged Strange Quark Stars
Rodrigo P. Negreiros, Fridolin Weber, Manuel Malheiro +1
The possible existence of compact stars made of absolutely stable strange quark matter--referred to as strange stars--was pointed out by E. Witten almost a quarter of a century ago…
Impact of Strange Quark Matter Nuggets on Pycnonuclear Reaction Rates in the Crusts of Neutron Stars
Barbara Golf, Joe Hellmers, Fridolin Weber
This paper presents an investigation into the pycnonuclear reaction rates in dense crustal matter of neutron stars contaminated with strange quark matter nuggets. The presence of s…
The Meissner Effect and Vortex Expulsion in Color-Superconducting Quark stars, and its Role for Re-heating of Magnetars
Brian Niebergal, Rachid Ouyed, Rodrigo Negreiros +1
Compact stars made of quark matter rather than confined hadronic matter, are expected to form a color superconductor. This superconductor ought to be threaded with rotational vorte…
