Phenomenological QCD equations of state for neutron star dynamics: Nuclear-2SC continuity and evolving effective couplings
Toru Kojo, Defu Hou, Jude Okafor +1
We delineate the quark-hadron continuity by constructing QCD equations of state for neutron star dynamics, covering the wide range of charge chemical potential () and temperat…
Quark-hadron crossover equations of state for neutron stars: constraining the chiral invariant mass in a parity doublet model
Takuya Minamikawa, Toru Kojo, Masayasu Harada
We construct an equation of state (EOS) for neutron stars by interpolating hadronic EOS at low density and quark EOS at high density. A hadronic model based on the parity doublet s…
QCD equations of state and speed of sound in neutron stars
Toru Kojo
Neutron stars are cosmic laboratories to study dense matter in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). The observable mass-radius relations of neutron stars are determined by QCD equations o…
Hard-core deconfinement and soft-surface delocalization from nuclear to quark matter
Kenji Fukushima, Toru Kojo, Wolfram Weise
We propose a conceptual distinction between hard and soft realizations of deconfinement from nuclear to quark matter. In the high density region of Hard Deconfinement the repulsive…
