چکیده
We review theoretical developments in studies of dense matter and its phase structure of relevance to compact stars. Observational data on compact stars, which can constrain the properties of dense matter, are presented critically and interpreted.

Effects of shear and bulk viscosity on head-on collision of localized waves in high density compact stars
Head on collision of localized waves in cold and dense hadronic matter with and without shear and bulk viscosities is investigated. Non-relativistic dynamics of propagating waves is studied using the hydrodynamics description of the system and suitable equation of state. It will be shown that the localized waves are described by solutions of the Burgers equation. Simulations show that the propa...
متن کاملMulti fluidity and Solitary wave stability in cold quark matter: core of dense astrophysical objects
Considering the magneto-hydrodynamic equations in a non-relativistic multi uid framework, we study the behavior of small amplitude perturbations in cold quark matter. Magneto-hydrodynamic equations, along with a suitable equation of state for the cold quark matter, are expanded using the reductive perturbation method. It is shown that in small amplitude approximation, such a medium should be co...
متن کاملEquation of State of Dense Matter and Maximum Mass of Neutron Stars
Theoretical models of the equation of state (EOS) of neutronstar matter (starting with the crust and ending at the densest region of the stellar core) are reviewed. Apart from a broad set of baryonic EOSs, strange quark matter, and even more exotic (abnormal and Q-matter) EOSs are considered. Results of calculations of Mmax for non-rotating neutron stars and exotic compact stars are reviewed, w...
متن کاملNeutron star cooling: theoretical aspects and observational constraints
The cooling theory of isolated neutron stars is reviewed. The main cooling regulators are discussed, first of all, operation of direct Urca process (or similar processes in exotic phases of dense matter) and superfluidity in stellar interiors. The prospects to constrain gross parameters of supranuclear matter in neutron star interiors by confronting cooling theory with observations of isolated ...
متن کاملObservational constraints on quark matter in neutron stars
We estimate the constraints of observational mass and redshift on the properties of equations of state (EOS) for quark matter based on the quasiparticle description in the compact stars. We discuss two scenarios: strange stars and hybrid stars. We construct the equations of state utilizing an extended MIT bag model taking medium effect into account for quark matter and relativistic mean field t...
