Superfluids Are Topological
Takeshi Mizushima, Kota Masuda, Muneto Nitta
We clarify topology of superfluids which are expected to be realized in the inner cores of neutron stars and cubic odd-parity superconductors. phases include uniaxi…
Half-quantized Non-Abelian Vortices in Neutron Superfluids inside Magnetars
Kota Masuda, Muneto Nitta
We point out that half-quantized non-Abelian vortices exist as the minimum energy states in rotating neutron superfluids in the inner cores of magnetars with magnetic field…
Massive Neutron Stars with Hadron-Quark Transition Core : phenomenological approach by "3-window model"
Tatsuyuki Takatsuka, Kota Masuda, Tetsuo Hatsuda
By a new approach introducing a "3-window model" and constructing phenomenologically an equation of state for the hadron-quark (HQ) transition region, possible maximum mass of neut…
Magnetic Properties of Quantized Vortices in Neutron Superfluids in Neutron Stars
Kota Masuda, Muneto Nitta
We discuss quantized vortices in neutron superfluids, which are believed to realize in high density neutron matter such as neutron stars. By using the Ginzburg-Landau free…
Hyperon Puzzle, Hadron-Quark Crossover and Massive Neutron Stars
Kota Masuda, Tetsuo Hatsuda, Tatsuyuki Takatsuka
Bulk properties of cold and hot neutron stars (NSs) are studied on the basis of the hadron-quark crossover picture where a smooth transition from the hadronic phase to the quark ph…
Hadron-Quark Crossover and Hot Neutron Stars at Birth
Kota Masuda, Tetsuo Hatsuda, Tatsuyuki Takatsuka
We construct a new isentropic equation of state (EOS) at finite temperature "CRover" on the basis of the hadron-quark crossover at high density. By using the new EOS, we study the…
