Description

In this presentation I briefly discuss the role of the symmetry energy on low mass twin compact stars under the framework of the state-of-the-art compact star measurements. In particular, I review the conjecture of the universal symmetry energy contribution to the compact star equation of state that follows from the direct Urca constraint for the cooling of low mass compact stars. Implications for the onset density of quark deconfiment and quark model EoS are discussed.
