abstract

We show that a hybrid (nuclear + quark matter) star can have a mass-radius relationship very similar to that predicted for a star made of purely nucleonic matter. We show this for a generic parameterization of the quark matter equation of state, and also for an MIT bag model, each including a phenomenological correction based on gluonic corrections to the equation of state. We obtain hybrid stars as heavy as 2 M_solar for reasonable values of the bag model parameters. For nuclear matter, we use the equation of state calculated by Akmal, Pandharipande, and Ravenhall using many-body techniques. Both mixed and homogeneous phases of nuclear and quark matter are considered.

Dwarf Galaxy Constraints on Interacting Fermionic Dark Matter

astro-ph.GA · 2026-05-21 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

MCMC fits of degenerate fermionic dark matter models to eight classical dwarf spheroidal galaxies constrain fermion masses to 100-300 eV and show current data do not strongly favor interacting over non-interacting equations of state.

Gradient-Produced Neutrinos

hep-ph · 2026-04-23 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Steep matter-density gradients in neutron stars can produce neutrino-antineutrino pairs analogous to the Schwinger effect.
