Is the coexistence of strange quark stars and hadronic stars favored by astrophysical data? A Bayesian analysis
Luca Passarella, Mirco Guerrini, Giuseppe Pagliara +2
Hadronic stars and strange quark stars could coexist within the so-called two-families scenario. In this respect, hadronic matter and strange quark matter correspond to two distinc…

Role of thermal fluctuations in nucleation of three-flavor quark matter
Mirco Guerrini, Giuseppe Pagliara, Andrea Lavagno +1
We present a framework that aims to investigate the role of thermal fluctuations of the matter composition and color-superconductivity in the nucleation of three-flavor deconfined…

On the formation of strange quark stars from supernova in compact binaries
L. M. Becerra, F. Cipolletta, A. Drago +4
Strange quark stars (SQSs), namely compact stars entirely composed of deconfined quark matter, are characterized by similar masses and compactness to neutron stars (NSs) and have b…
