The Constant-Sound-Speed parameterization for NJL models of quark matter in hybrid stars
Ignacio F. Ranea-Sandoval, Sophia Han, Milva G. Orsaria +3
The discovery of pulsars as heavy as 2 solar masses has led astrophysicists to rethink the core compositions of neutron stars, ruling out many models for the nuclear equations of s…
Characteristics of hybrid compact stars with a sharp hadron-quark interface
Mark G. Alford, Sophia Han
We describe two aspects of the physics of hybrid stars that have a sharp interface between a core of quark matter and a mantle of nuclear matter. Firstly, we analyze the mass-radiu…
Ghostly action at a distance: a non-technical explanation of the Bell inequality
Mark G. Alford
We give a simple non-mathematical explanation of Bell's inequality. Using the inequality, we show how the results of Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) experiments violate the principle…
Constraining and applying a generic high-density equation of state
Mark G. Alford, G. F. Burgio, Sophia Han +2
We discuss the "constant speed of sound" (CSS) parametrization of the equation of state of high-density matter and its application to the field correlator method (FCM) model of qua…
