Evidence for a Continuous Hadron--Quark Transition in Cold Dense Matter

Yong-Jia Huang, Bikai Gao

Statistical evidence for a continuous hadron-quark transition is found in this work. Confronting microscopic descriptions connecting the Parity Doublet Model and the Nambu--Jona-La…

Updated estimates of post-merger gravitational wave energy released in GW170817 and the maximum neutron star mass

Yong Chen, Bo Gao, Yong-Jia Huang +2

In this work, benefiting from the increased sample of neutron stars with measured masses and radii as well as the incorporation of the chiral effective field theory and perturbativ…

Post-Merger Gravitational-Wave Uncertainties of Binary Neutron Stars under Multi-Messenger EOS Constraints

Yong-Jia Huang, Luca Baiotti

The high-frequency gravitational waves emitted by a binary neutron star merger remnant carry information on matter at densities and temperatures beyond those reached in isolated ne…

Neutron Star Observations Challenge a Large Colour-Superconducting Gap in Dense Quark Matter

Shao-Peng Tang, Yong-Jia Huang, Yi-Zhong Fan

At asymptotically high density, quantum chromodynamics (QCD) predicts that quark matter becomes a colour superconductor in the colour-flavour-locked (CFL) phase, yet, away from the…

The Non-parametric Equation of State Realizes a Generalized Quark-Hadron Crossover

Yong-Jia Huang, Shao-Peng Tang, Yi-Zhong Fan

We propose a non-parametric approach to construct the statistical equation of state (EOS) continuously from the nuclear crust to the asymptotic-freedom regime. The combined require…

Phase transition and nuclear symmetry energy from neutron star observations: Constraints in light of PSR J0614--3329

Shao-Peng Tang, Yong-Jia Huang, Yi-Zhong Fan

The possible occurrence of a first-order hadron-quark phase transition (FOPT) in neutron-star interiors remains an open question. Whether such a transition can be directly tested w…
