Crossover transition to quark matter in heavy hybrid stars
D. E. Alvarez-Castillo, S. Benic, D. Blaschke +1
We study the possibility that the transition from hadron matter to quark matter at vanishing temperatures proceeds via crossover, similar to the crossover behavior found with latti…
Mass-radius constraints for compact stars and a critical endpoint
David Blaschke, David E. Alvarez-Castillo, Sanjin Benic
We present two types of models for hybrid compact stars composed of a quark core and a hadronic mantle with an abrupt first order phase transition at the interface which are in acc…
Nuclear medium cooling scenario in the light of new Cas A cooling data and the 2 M_sun pulsar mass measurements
D. Blaschke, H. Grigorian, D. N. Voskresensky
Recently, Elshamounty et al. performed a reanalysis of the surface temperature of the neutron star in the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A on the basis of Chandra data measured durin…
Implications of the measurement of pulsars with two solar masses for quark matter in compact stars and HIC. A NJL model case study
T. Klahn, D. B. Blaschke, R. Łastowiecki
The precise measurement of the high masses of the pulsars PSR J1614-2230 (M_{1614}=1.97 +- 0.04 solar masses) and PSR J0348-0432 (M_{0348}=2.01 +- 0.04 solar masses) provides an im…
An effective model of QCD thermodynamics
L. Turko, D. Blaschke, D. Prorok +1
A combined effective model reproducing the equation of state of hadronic matter as obtained in recent lattice QCD simulations is presented. The model reproduces basic physical char…
