Nucleosynthesis in neutron-rich ejecta from quark-novae
Prashanth Jaikumar, Bradley S. Meyer, Kaori Otsuki +1
We explore heavy-element nucleosynthesis by rapid neutron capture (r-process) in the decompressing ejecta from the surface of a neutron star. The decompression is triggered by a vi…

Quark Matter in Neutron Stars: An apercu
Prashanth Jaikumar, Sanjay Reddy, Andrew W. Steiner
The existence of deconfined quark matter in the superdense interior of neutron stars is a key question that has drawn considerable attention over the past few decades. Quark matter…

Surface structure of Quark stars with magnetic fields
Prashanth Jaikumar
We investigate the impact of magnetic fields on the electron distribution in the electrosphere of quark stars. For moderately strong magnetic fields G, quantization…
