Systematic study of the morphology and length of slow stable hybrid star branches

Mauro Mariani, Milva G. Orsaria, Germán Lugones +1

We introduce and systematically study the length of the slow stable hybrid star branch as a quantitative measure of the extended stability region that arises in hybrid neutron star…

The Delta-isobar masquerade: intrahadronic phase transitions and their quark-mimicking signatures in neutron stars

Martin O. Canullan-Pascual, Germán Lugones, Ignacio F. Ranea-Sandoval +1

We investigate the conditions under which isobars trigger a first-order phase transition within purely hadronic neutron-star matter, using the SW4L relativistic mean-fiel…

How Neutron Star Observations Point Towards Exotic Matter: Existing Explanations and a Prospective Proposal

Mauro Mariani, Ignacio F. Ranea-Sandoval

Multi-messenger astronomical observations of neutron stars, together with more precise calculations and constraints coming from dense matter microphysics, are generating tension wi…

Towards a unified hadron-quark equation of state for neutron stars within the relativistic mean-field model

Marcos O. Celi, Mauro Mariani, Milva G. Orsaria +2

The equation of state of dense matter remains a central challenge in astrophysics and high-energy physics, particularly at supra-nuclear densities where exotic degrees of freedom l…

Classification of -modes for neutron stars with a strong transition: Novel universal relation including slow stable hybrid stars

M. C. Rodriguez, José C. Jiménez, Ignacio F. Ranea-Sandoval

We investigate the behavior of the non-radial gravity-pulsation discontinuity -mode in neutron stars with a strong first-order phase transition which give rise to hybrid-star co…

Exploring the role of hexaquarks on quark deconfinement and hybrid stars

Marcos O. Celi, Mauro Mariani, Rajesh Kumar +5

We investigate the impact of the (2380) hexaquark on the equation of state (EoS) of dense matter within hybrid stars (HSs) using the Chiral Mean-Field model (CMF). The hexaqua…
