Hybrid Stars that Masquerade as Neutron Stars
Open accessAbstract
We show that a hybrid (nuclear+quark matter) star can have a mass-radius relationship very similar to that predicted for a star made of purely nucleonic matter. We show this for a generic parameterization of the quark matter equation of state and also for an MIT bag model, each including a phenomenological correction based on gluonic corrections to the equation of state. We obtain hybrid stars as heavy as 2 M ☉ for reasonable values of the bag model parameters. For nuclear matter, we use the equation of state calculated by Akmal and coworkers using many-body techniques. Both mixed and homogeneous phases of nuclear and quark matter are considered.

“(Recall that in unpaired quark matter a1=22 corresponds to the strange quark mass.) This is understandable, since the effective bag constant must decrease with increasing a2 at fixed c: it is well known that in stars dominated by quark matter, Mmax B 1=2eA (Witten 1984).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
