abstract

We present a much improved equation of state for neutron star matter, QHC19, with a smooth crossover from the hadronic regime at lower densities to the quark regime at higher densities. We now use the Togashi et al.~equation of state (Togashi:2017), a generalization of the Akmal-Pandharipande-Ravenhall equation of state of uniform nuclear matter, in the entire hadronic regime; the Togashi equation of state consistently describes non-uniform as well as uniform matter, and matter at beta equilibrium without the need for an interpolation between pure neutron and symmetric nuclear matter. We describe the quark matter regime at higher densities with the Nambu--Jona--Lasinio model, now identifying tight constraints on the phenomenological universal vector repulsion between quarks and the pairing interaction between quarks arising from the requirements of thermodynamic stability and causal propagation of sound. The resultant neutron star properties agree very well with the inferences of the LIGO/Virgo collaboration, from GW170817, of the pressure vs. baryon density, neutron star radii, and tidal deformabilities. The maximum neutron star mass allowed by QHC19 is 2.35 $M_\odot$, consistent with all neutron star mass determinations.

  1. The Non-parametric Equation of State Realizes a Generalized Quark-Hadron Crossover

    astro-ph.HE 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Non-parametric EOS construction from crust to pQCD forces a sound-speed peak and softening that realizes a generalized quark-hadron crossover in massive neutron stars.

  2. The Non-parametric Equation of State Realizes a Generalized Quark-Hadron Crossover

    astro-ph.HE 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Non-parametric EOS construction shows non-conformal behavior with evidence for soft quark matter and a hadron-quark phase transition in massive neutron star cores.

  3. Suppression of dynamical momentum-space shell by chiral symmetry

    nucl-th 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In a parity doublet model, self-consistent minimization keeps the quark fraction at zero up to about 8n0, showing quark onset and chiral restoration need not coincide.

  4. Ferromagnetic instabilities in quarkyonic matter

    nucl-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Quarkyonic neutron matter can turn ferromagnetic below about 5.5 n0, but only with a hand-chosen negative spin-spin interaction constant.

    nucl-th 2025-09 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    The parity doublet model combined with the new NICER radius measurement restricts the chiral invariant nucleon mass m0 to 800-860 MeV, implying it is at least 85% of the nucleon mass.

    The abstract and the body of this preprint are entirely different papers, leaving the headline battery claim unsubstantiated.

  7. A quarkyonic matter model

    The IdylliQ model uses quark saturation to generate stiff equations of state and effective baryon repulsions that mitigate hyperon softening in neutron star matter.
