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…
Structured Mixed Phase is Favored in Neutron Stars
Michael B. Christiansen, Norman K. Glendenning
We give a general thermodynamical argument showing that in neutron stars, the Coulomb structured mixed phase is always favored for any first order phase transition involving system…
Phase Transition in Pulsar Timing
Norman K. Glendenning
A phase transition in the nature of matter in the core of a neutron star, such as quark deconfinement or Bose condensation, can cause the spontaneous spin-up of a solitary millisec…
Strange Phases in Neutron Stars
Juergen Schaffner-Bielich, Norman K. Glendenning
The equation of state and the properties of neutron stars are studied for a phase transition to a charged kaon condensate. We study the mixed phase by using Gibbs condition with co…
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…
