چکیده
We analyze the phase diagram of two-flavor quark matter under neutron star constraints for a nonlocal covariant quark model within the mean field approximation. Applications to cold compact stars are discussed. PACS. 12.38.Mh, 24.85.+p, 26.60.+c, 97.60.-s

Cooling of Neutron Stars with Color Superconducting Quark Cores
We show that within a recently developed nonlocal chiral quark model the critical density for a phase transition to color superconducting quark matter under neutron star conditions can be low enough for these phases to occur in compact star configurations with masses below 1.3 M⊙. We study the cooling of these objects in isolation for different values of the gravitational mass and argue that, i...
متن کاملCooling Evolution of Hybrid Stars
The cooling of compact isolated objects for different values of the gravitational mass has been simulated for two alternative assumptions. One is that the interior of the star is purely hadronic[1] and second that the star can have a rather large quark core [2]. It has been shown that within a nonlocal chiral quark model the critical density for a phase transition to color superconducting quark...

We show that within a recently developed nonlocal, chiral quark model the critical densities for a phase transition to color superconducting quark matter under neutron star conditions can be low enough that these phases occur in compact star configurations with masses below 1.4 M⊙. We study the cooling of these objects in isolation for different values of the gravitational mass and thus differe...
متن کاملNew Class of Compact Stars at High Density ∗
We discuss the equation of state for cold, dense quark matter in perturbation theory, and how it might match onto that of hadronic matter. Certain choices of the renormalization scale correspond to a strongly first order chiral transition, and may generate a new class of small and very dense quark stars. The results for the mass-radius relation are compatible with the recent determination of th...
متن کاملQcd Phase Diagram in Nonlocal Chiral Quark Models
The QCD phase diagram is analyzed within chiral quark models with nonlocal separable interactions. For the case of two light flavors, we describe in detail the characteristics of the chiral phase transition in the T − µ plane, and analyze the color superconducting phase transition taking place at relatively large chemical potentials. We also consider the three-flavor version of the models, anal...
