Compact stars with color superconducting quark matter

Open access
Alford, Mark, Reddy, Sanjay·2003·Physical Review D

Abstract

We study compact stars that contain quark matter. We look at the effect of color superconductivity in the quark matter on the nuclear-quark matter transition density, mass-radius relationship, and the density discontinuity at the boundary between nuclear and quark matter. We find that color superconducting quark matter will occur in compact stars at values of the bag constant where ordinary quark matter would not be allowed. We are able to construct ``hybrid'' stars with a color superconducting quark matter interior and nuclear matter surface, with masses in the range $1.3--{1.6M}_{\ensuremath{\bigodot}}$ and radii 8--11 km. Our results are consistent with recent mass-radius limits based on absorption lines from EXO0748-676.

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.
