Quark phases in neutron stars and a "third family" of compact stars as a signature for phase transitions
K. Schertler, C. Greiner, J. Schaffner-Bielich +1
The appearance of quark phases in the dense interior of neutron stars provides one possibility to soften the equation of state (EOS) of neutron star matter at high densities. This…
Neutron stars and quark phases in the NJL model
K. Schertler, S. Leupold, J. Schaffner-Bielich
We study the possible existence of deconfined quark matter in the interior of neutron stars using the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model to describe the quark phase. We find that typical neu…
Medium effects and the structure of neutron stars in the effective mass bag model
K. Schertler, C. Greiner, M. H. Thoma
One of the most intriguing consequence of the extreme conditions inside neutron stars is the possibility of the natural existence of a deconfined strange quark matter phase in the…
The influence of medium effects on the gross structure of hybrid stars
K. Schertler, C. Greiner, P. K. Sahu +1
We investigate the influence of medium effects on the structure of hybrid stars, i.e. neutron stars possessing a quark matter core. We found that medium effects reduce the extent o…
