Supermassive Neutron Stars Rule Out Twin Stars
Jan-Erik Christian, Jürgen Schaffner-Bielich
We investigate the implications of a hypothetical neutron star in regard to the possibility of a strong phase transition to quark matter. We use equations o…

Twin stars and the stiffness of the nuclear equation of state: ruling out strong phase transitions below with the new NICER radius measurements
Jan-Erik Christian, Jürgen Schaffner-Bielich
We explore the connection between the stiffness of an hadronic equation of state (EoS) with a sharp phase transition to quark matter to its tidal deformability. For this we employ…
