Pulsar kicks via spin-1 color superconductivity
Andreas Schmitt, Igor A. Shovkovy, Qun Wang
We propose a new neutrino propulsion mechanism for neutron stars which can lead to strong velocity kicks, needed to explain the observed bimodal velocity distribution of pulsars. T…
Gapless phases of color-superconducting matter
Igor A. Shovkovy, Stefan B. Ruester, Dirk H. Rischke
We discuss gapless color superconductivity for neutral quark matter in beta equilibrium at zero as well as at nonzero temperature. Basic properties of gapless superconductors are r…
Two lectures on color superconductivity
Igor A. Shovkovy
The first lecture provides an introduction to the physics of color superconductivity in cold dense quark matter. The main color superconducting phases are briefly described and the…
Chromomagnetic instability in dense quark matter
Mei Huang, Igor A. Shovkovy
The results for the Debye and Meissner screening masses of the gluons and the photon in the case of neutral and beta-equilibrated dense two-flavor quark matter are presented. In th…
Neutral Dense Quark Matter
Mei Huang, Igor Shovkovy
The ground state of dense up and down quark matter under local and global charge neutrality conditions with -equilibrium has at least four possibilities: normal, regular 2SC, ga…
Two flavor color superconductivity and compact stars
Igor Shovkovy, Matthias Hanauske, Mei Huang
Baryonic matter at high density and low temperature is a color superconductor. In real world, this state of matter may naturally appear inside compact stars. A construction of a hy…
