Framework for phase transitions between the Maxwell and Gibbs constructions at finite temperature
Constantinos Constantinou, Mirco Guerrini, Tianqi Zhao +2
The characteristics of the hadron-to-quark first-order phase transition differ depending on whether charge neutrality is locally or globally fulfilled. In -equilibrated matter,…

Quarkyonic Matter Equation of State in Beta-Equilibrium
Tianqi Zhao, James M. Lattimer
Quark matter may appear due to a hadronic-quark transition in the core of a hybrid star. Quarkyonic matter is an approach in which both quarks and nucleons appear as quasi-particle…

Tidal Deformabilities and Neutron Star Mergers
Tianqi Zhao, James M. Lattimer
Finite size effects in a neutron star merger are manifested, at leading order, through the tidal deformabilities (Lambdas) of the stars. If strong first-order phase transitions do…
