Neutron stars and quark phases in the NJL model
نویسندگان
چکیده
Abstract We study the possible existence of deconfined quark matter in the interior of neutron stars using the Nambu–Jona-Lasinio model to describe the quark phase. We find that typical neutron stars with masses around 1.4 solar masses do not possess any deconfined quark matter in their center. This can be traced back to the property of the NJL model which suggests a large constituent strange quark mass over a wide range of densities. Supported by DFG and GSI Darmstadt. This paper forms part of the dissertation of K. Schertler. E-mail: [email protected]

Neutron stars and the transition to color-superconducting quark matter
We explore the relevance of color superconductivity inside a possible quark matter core for the bulk properties of neutron stars. For the quark phase we use an Nambu–Jona-Lasinio (NJL) type model, extended to include diquark condensates. For the hadronic phase, a microscopic many-body model is adopted, with and without strangeness content. In our calculations, a sharp boundary is assumed betwee...

متن کاملThe hadron-quark phase transition in neutron stars
We study the hadron-quark phase transition in the interior of neutron stars (NS). For the hadronic sector, we use a microscopic equation of state (EOS) involving nucleons and hyperons derived within the Brueckner-Hartree-Fock approach. For the quark sector, we employ the MIT bag model, as well as the Nambu–Jona-Lasinio (NJL) and the Color Dielectric (CD) models, and find that the NS maximum mas...
متن کاملNJL-model analysis of dense quark matter
Investigations of deconfined quark matter within NJL-type models are reviewed, focusing on the regime of low temperatures and “moderate” densities, which is not accessible by perturbative QCD. Central issue is the interplay between chiral symmetry restoration and the formation of color superconducting phases. In order to lay a solid ground for this analysis, we begin with a rather detailed disc...
متن کاملQuark phases in neutron stars and a “ third family ” of compact stars as a signature for phase transitions ∗
Quark phases in neutron stars and a " third family " of compact stars as a signature for phase transitions * Abstract The appearance of quark phases in the dense interior of neutron stars provides one possibility to soften the equation of state (EOS) of neutron star matter at high densities. This softening leads to more compact equilibrium configurations of neutron stars compared to pure hadron...
