Observability of sharp phase transitions in neutron stars
Sophia Han
With central densities as high as 5-10 times the nuclear saturation density, neutron stars exhibit extreme conditions that cannot be observed elsewhere. They are ideal astrophysica…

Phase conversion dissipation in multicomponent compact stars
Mark G. Alford, Sophia Han, Kai Schwenzer
We propose a mechanism for the damping of density oscillations in multicomponent compact stars. The mechanism is the periodic conversion between different phases, i.e., the movemen…

Generic conditions for stable hybrid stars
Mark G. Alford, Sophia Han, Madappa Prakash
We study the mass-radius curve of hybrid stars, assuming a single first-order phase transition between nuclear and quark matter, with a sharp interface between the quark matter cor…
