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…
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…
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…
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…
