We present a hybrid equation of state (EoS) for dense matter that satisfies phenomenological constraints from modern compact star (CS) observations which indicate high maximum masses (M = 2 M_sun) and large radii (R> 12 km). The corresponding isospin symmetric EoS is consistent with flow data analyses of heavy-ion collisions and a deconfinement transition at approx. 0.55 fm^{-3}. The quark matter phase is described by a 3-flavor Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model that accounts for scalar diquark condensation and vector meson interactions while the nuclear matter phase is obtained within the Dirac-Brueckner-Hartree-Fock (DBHF) approach using the Bonn-A potential. We demonstrate that both pure neutron stars and neutron stars with quark matter cores (QCSs) are consistent with modern CS observations. Hybrid star configurations with a CFL quark core are unstable.

  1. Neutrino absorption in two-flavor color-superconducting quark matter

    nucl-th 2025-09 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    In 2SC quark matter, neutrino absorption is dominated by strange-quark capture at low temperature, and a degenerate neutrino gas at electron lepton fraction 0.1 has a mean free path of meters or less.

  2. The petit four of color-superconducting phases in proto-neutron star evolution

    nucl-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Along constant-baryon-number cooling tracks, color-superconducting cores in proto-neutron stars follow four scenarios, with stable cold CSC only in a narrow high-mass band for the chosen EoS.

  3. Phase transitions in neutron stars and their links to gravitational waves

    astro-ph.HE 2019-07 unverdicted novelty 2.0 of 10

    Review of neutron star dense matter, hadron-quark phase transitions, and potential g-mode signatures in gravitational waves from multimessenger observations.
