We study the hadron-quark phase transition and antikaon condensation which may occur in the core of massive neutron stars. The relativistic mean field theory is used to describe the hadronic phase, while the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model is adopted for the quark phase. We find that the hadron-quark phase transition is very sensitive to the models used. The appearance of deconfined quark matter and antikaon condensation can soften the equation of state at high density and lower the maximum mass of neutron stars.

AbstractWe study the impact of a hadron-quark phase transition on the maximum neutron-star mass. The hadronic part of the equation of state relies on the most up-to-date Skyrme nuclear energy density functionals, fitted to essentially all experimental nuclear mass data and constrained to reproduce the properties of infinite nuclear matter as obtained from microscopic calculations using realistic forces. We show that the softening of the dense matter equation of state due to the phase transition is not necessarily incompatible with the existence of massive neutron stars like PSR J1614–2230.

We investigate the hadron-quark phase transition inside neutron stars and obtain mass–radius relations for hybrid stars. The equation of state for the quark phase using the standard NJL model is too soft, leading to an unstable star and suggesting a modification of the NJL model by introducing a momentum cutoff dependent on the chemical potential. However, even in this approach, the instability remains. In order to remedy the instability we suggest the introduction of a vector coupling in the NJL model, which makes the EoS stiffer, reducing the instability. We conclude that the possible existence of quark matter inside the stars require high densities, leading to very compact stars.

We investigate the non-uniform structures and the equation of state (EOS) of nuclear matter in the context of the first-order phase transitions (FOPT) such as liquid-gas phase transition, kaon condensation, and hadron-quark phase transition. During FOPT the mixed phases appear, where matter exhibits non-uniform structures called "Pasta" structures due to the balance of the Coulomb repulsion and the surface tension between two phases. We treat these effects self-consistently, properly taking into account of the Poisson equation and the Gibbs conditions. Consequently, they make the EOS of the mixed phase closer to that of Maxwell construction due to the Debye screening. This is a general feature of the mixed phase consisting of many species of charged particles.

We discuss, in this work, new aspects related to the emission of gravitational waves by neutron stars, which undergo a phase transition, from nuclear to quark matter, in its inner core. Such a phase transition would liberate around 1052–53 erg of energy in the form of gravitational waves which, if detected, may shed some light in the structure of these compact objects and provide new insights on the equation of state of nuclear matter.

The long-awaited detection of a gravitational wave from the merger of a binary neutron star in August 2017 (GW170817) marks the beginning of the new field of multi-messenger gravitational wave astronomy. By exploiting the extracted tidal deformations of the two neutron stars from the late inspiral phase of GW170817, it is now possible to constrain several global properties of the equation of state of neutron star matter. However, the most interesting part of the high density and temperature regime of the equation of state is solely imprinted in the post-merger gravitational wave emission from the remnant hypermassive/supramassive neutron star. This regime was not observed in GW170817, but will possibly be detected in forthcoming events within the current observing run of the LIGO/VIRGO collaboration. Numerous numerical-relativity simulations of merging neutron star binaries have been performed during the last decades, and the emitted gravitational wave profiles and the interior structure of the generated remnants have been analysed in detail. The consequences of a potential appearance of a hadron-quark phase transition in the interior region of the produced hypermassive neutron star and the evolution of its underlying matter in the phase diagram of quantum cromo dynamics will be in the focus of this article. It will be shown that the different density/temperature regions of the equation of state can be severely constrained by a measurement of the spectral properties of the emitted post-merger gravitational wave signal from a future binary compact star merger event.
