The stability of color-flavor-locked quark matter and massive CFL quark stars

Wen-Li Yuan, Bikai Gao

Owing to the emergence of attractive interactions between quarks, color superconductivity is expected to occur, with the color-flavor-locked (CFL) phase favored at high densities.…

On the survival of strong nuggets in the early Universe

Haoyang Qi, Wen-Li Yuan, Yudong Luo +3

Strong nuggets with a baryon number of could be able to survive from the cosmic separation of the QCD phases, provided the transition from strange quark matter t…

Nonstrange and strange quark matter at finite temperature within modified NJL model and protoquark stars

Wen-Li Yuan, Nobutoshi Yasutake, Renxin Xu

We extend the modified Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model -- incorporating exchange interactions via the Fierz transformation -- to finite temperatures in both two- and three-flavor sc…

Hybrid Quark Stars with Quark-Quark Phase Transitions

Zongcan Yang, Tianxiong Zeng, Yan Yan +3

We explore the possibility of phase transitions between different quark matter phases occurring within quark stars, giving rise to the hybrid quark stars (HybQSs). First, we obtain…

Hybrid stars with large quark cores within the parity doublet model and modified NJL model

Wen-Li Yuan, Bikai Gao, Yan Yan +1

Using the parity doublet model (PDM) for hadronic matter and a modified Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model for quark matter, we investigate the potential existence of two- and three-fl…

Bayesian inference of strangeon matter using the measurements of PSR J0437-4715 and GW190814

Wen-Li Yuan, Chun Huang, Chen Zhang +2

The observations of compact star inspirals from LIGO/Virgo combined with mass and radius measurements from NICER provide a valuable tool to study the highly uncertain equation of s…

Constraining the competition between the deconfinement and chiral phase transitions in light of the multimessenger era

Wen-Li Yuan, Bikai Gao, Yan Yan +2

We extend the parity doublet model for hadronic matter and study the possible presence of quark matter inside the cores of neutron stars with the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model. Co…

Exploring the first-order phase transition in neutron stars using the parity doublet model and NJL-type quark model

Bikai Gao, Wen-Li Yuan, Masayasu Harada +1

We investigate the possibility and impacts of a first-order phase transition from hadronic matter to quark matter in neutron stars (NSs) using two specific models: the parity doubl…

Two-flavor color superconducting quark stars may not exist

Wen-Li Yuan, Ang Li

Large uncertainties in the determinations of the equation of state of dense stellar matter allow the intriguing possibility that the bulk quark matter in beta equilibrium might be…
