Constraining Twin-Star Existence in Four-Parameter Maxwell Equation of State

Shamim Haque, Atharva Shinde, Asim Kumar Saha +2

Twin stars (TSs) are predicted to exist in nature if the hadron-to-quark phase transition is strong enough to form a new branch of hybrid stars, separated from the branch of neutro…
