On the Destabilization of High-Mass Neutron Stars by the Emergence of $d^{\ast }$-Hexaquarks

Marcos O. Celi, Mikhail Bashkanov, Mauro Mariani +4

We study the effects of the first nontrivial hexaquark, $d^{\ast }$(2380), on the equation of state of dense neutron star matter and investigate the consequences of its existence for neu…
