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…
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…
Dense Stellar Matter and Structure of Neutron Stars
Fridolin Weber, Norman K. Glendenning
After giving an overview of the history and idea of neutron stars, I shall introduce, in part one of my lectures, a representative collection of models for the equation of state of…
