A finite temperature framework for quark matter with color-superconducting phases
Hosein Gholami, Marco Hofmann, Débora Mroczek +1
Current observations of neutron stars and measurements of gravitational waves only provide constraints on the zero temperature () equation of state (EoS) of dense matter. The…
Neutrino absorption in two-flavor color-superconducting quark matter
Mark G. Alford, Liam Brodie, Michael Buballa +3
We calculate the absorption mean free paths of electron and muon neutrinos in two-flavor color-superconducting (2SC) quark matter in the density and temperature range that is relev…
Removing cutoff artifacts in the NJL model by a Renormalization Group consistent treatment
Hosein Gholami, Marco Hofmann, Michael Buballa
We summarize how a renormalization-group (RG)-consistent treatment removes well-known artifacts in NJL-model descriptions of color-superconducting quark matter. We introduce two RG…
Comprehensive Analysis of Constructing Hybrid Stars with an RG-consistent NJL Model
Jan-Erik Christian, Ishfaq Ahmad Rather, Hosein Gholami +1
In this work, we investigate the properties of hadronic and quark matter that would allow for a first order phase transition between them within neutron stars. To this end, we use…
Astrophysical constraints on color-superconducting phases in compact stars within the RG-consistent NJL model
Hosein Gholami, Ishfaq Ahmad Rather, Marco Hofmann +2
We determine parameters of the renormalization group-consistent three-flavor color-superconducting Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model that are suited to investigate possible compact-st…
