Description

Gravitational waves offer exciting opportunities to study bulk properties of dense matter and challenge theoretical models of dense equations of state (EoS). NJL-type models widely employed in the COMPOSE database for studying neutron stars have the known problem that the speed of sound fails to approach the conformal limit. We investigate how a dynamical chiral quark model, which implements non-local interactions among quarks resolves the issue. Additionally, the influence of diquark on the QCD phase diagram is also investigated.
