Effect of the crust on neutron star empirical relations
Márcio Ferreira, Constança Providência
We analyze how the crust equation of state affects several neutron star properties and how it impacts on possible constraints inferred from astrophysical observations. Using three…
Quark matter in light neutron stars
Márcio Ferreira, Renan Câmara Pereira, Constança Providência
Higher-order repulsive interactions are included in the three-flavor NJL model in order to describe the quark phase of an hybrid star. The effect of 4-quark and 8-quark vector-isos…
Neutron stars with large quark cores
Márcio Ferreira, Renan Câmara Pereira, Constança Providência
We describe charge-neutral neutron star matter in equilibrium using hybrid equations of state, where a first-order phase transition from hadronic to quark matter is realized. T…
