In recent years, there have been several successful attempts to constrain the equation of state of neutron star matter using input from low-energy nuclear physics and observational data. We demonstrate that significant further restrictions can be placed by additionally requiring the pressure to approach that of deconfined quark matter at high densities. Remarkably, the new constraints turn out to be highly insensitive to the amount --- or even presence --- of quark matter inside the stars.

  1. Strongly Interacting Dark Matter admixed Neutron Stars

    hep-ph 2025-03 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Strongly interacting dark matter described by a first-principles G2 gauge-theory equation of state can be mixed into neutron stars while remaining compatible with current observational constraints.

  2. As above, so below: assessing extremeness of the neutron-star equation of state based on the unstable branch

    nucl-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Requiring causal stable thermodynamically consistent extensions of neutron-star EOS models to perturbative QCD constrains high-density behavior and disfavors purely nucleonic descriptions for all stable stars.

  3. Is the coexistence of strange quark stars and hadronic stars favored by astrophysical data? A Bayesian analysis

    nucl-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Bayesian analysis of astrophysical and laboratory data favors the two-families scenario of coexisting hadronic and strange quark stars over the one-family scenario.

  4. Quark and hybrid stars with renormalization group improvement of NNLO perturbative QCD

    nucl-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    RGOPT-resummed NNLO pQCD EoS for massive quarks in beta equilibrium is fitted and applied to construct pure quark stars (X=3.08-3.58) and hybrid stars (X~2-2.98) compatible with PSR J0740+6620 and GW190814.

  5. Hot quark matter and (proto-) neutron stars

    nucl-th 2019-07 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    An extended PNJL model locates the QCD critical end point and predicts that proto-neutron stars contain hyperons and Delta-isobars but no deconfined quarks, which appear only in cold neutron stars.
