Description

In this talk I will discuss the three-flavor quark-meson model including color superconductivity, with emphasis on the 2SC and CFL phases. We extend the quark-meson model to the quark meson diquark model. This is a renormalizable low energy effective model that describes the superconductive phases of QCD. We calculate the thermodynamic potential including quark loops. We map out the phase diagram in the $\mu_B$-$T$ plane and sketch how one can apply this model to compact stars. We will present results for the speed of sound, mass-radius relationship, and tidal deformability of non-strange hybrid stars.
