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…

Framework for phase transitions between the Maxwell and Gibbs constructions at finite temperature
Constantinos Constantinou, Mirco Guerrini, Tianqi Zhao +2
The characteristics of the hadron-to-quark first-order phase transition differ depending on whether charge neutrality is locally or globally fulfilled. In -equilibrated matter,…

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…
