Cold quark matter in astrophysics of compact stars
Armen Sedrakian
TL;DR
This paper explores the presence of quark matter in compact stars, discussing their structure, stability, gravitational waves, and vortex dynamics in color superconducting phases, highlighting astrophysical implications.
Contribution
It provides a comprehensive analysis of quark matter effects on compact star properties and the dynamics within color superconducting phases, which is a novel synthesis in this context.
Findings
Quark matter influences the structure and stability of compact stars.
Non-axisymmetric deformations can produce detectable gravitational radiation.
Vortex dynamics in color superconducting phases affect star evolution.
Abstract
The appearance of quark matter in the centers of compact stars has a number of astrophysical implications. In this contribution I discuss the structure and stability of compact stars, gravitational radiation from non-axisymmetric deformations, and nucleation and dynamics of vortices (flux tubes) in the color superconducting phases.
