TL;DR

This study investigates how the mass variation of delta baryons affects the phase transition and properties of hybrid stars, considering static and rotating states, and compares results with observational constraints.

Contribution

It introduces a detailed analysis of delta baryon mass distribution effects on hybrid star equations of state and their properties in static and rotating conditions.

Findings

Hybrid star properties are consistent with observational constraints.

Phase transition parameters depend on delta baryon mass variation.

Rotating and static hybrid star properties show significant differences.

Abstract

The possible conditions for hadron-quark phase transition in hybrid star cores are investigated in the present work. For the hadronic matter part the effective chiral model is adopted. Exotic baryonic degrees like hyperons and the delta baryons are also taken into account. As $\Delta$s posses Breit-Wigner mass distribution ($1232 \pm 120$ MeV), the hadronic equation of state is obtained by varying the mass of the delta baryons in this range. For the quark phase the MIT bag model is chosen with repulsive effects of the unpaired quarks. Phase transition is achieved using Gibbs construction and the gross properties of the resultant hybrid star are calculated in both static and rotating conditions and compared with the various constraints on them from different observational and empirical perspectives. The work presents a thorough study of the phase transition properties like the critical density of appearance of quarks, the density range for the persistence of the mixed phase and the population of different hadrons and quarks in hybrid star matter. The hybrid star properties, calculated in both static and rotating conditions, are found to be consistent with the bounds on them from different perspectives.
