Chaos in QCD? Gap equations and their fractal properties

T. Klaehn, L. C. Loveridge, M. Cierniak

We discuss how iterative solutions of QCD inspired gap-equations at finite chemical potential show domains of chaotic behavior as well as non-chaotic domains which represent one or…

Lifting the Veil on Quark Matter in Compact Stars with Core g-mode Oscillations

Wei Wei, Megan Barry, Thomas Klähn +1

Compact stars containing quark matter may masquerade as neutron stars in the range of measured mass and radius, making it difficult to draw firm conclusions on the phase of matter…

Camouflage of the Phase Transition to Quark Matter in Neutron Stars

Wei Wei, Bryen Irving, Thomas Klähn +1

It has been known for some time that compact stars containing quark matter can masquerade as neutron stars in the range of measured mass and radius, making it difficult to draw fir…

Quark deconfinement as supernova explosion engine for massive blue-supergiant stars

Tobias Fischer, Niels-Uwe F. Bastian, Meng-Ru Wu +6

Blue-supergiant stars develop into core-collapse supernovae --- one of the most energetic outbursts in the universe --- when all nuclear burning fuel is exhausted in the stellar co…

Strange matter in compact stars

Thomas Klaehn, David Blaschke

We discuss possible scenarios for the existence of strange matter in compact stars. The appearance of hyperons leads to a hyperon puzzle in ab-initio approaches based on effective…

The state of matter in simulations of core-collapse supernovae -- Reflections and recent developments

Tobias Fischer, Niels-Uwe Bastian, David Blaschke +7

In this review article we discuss selected developments regarding the role of the equation of state (EOS) in simulations of core-collapse supernovae. There are no first-principle c…
