2. Some new aspects of the QCD phase transition in proto-neutron stars and core-collapse supernovae

Recently it was shown that a phase transition to deconfined quark matter can lead to the formation of a novel kind of third family of compact stars, that is present only in the hot, early stages of their evolution. Such a feature can be related to unusual thermal properties of the equation of state in the phase coexistence region, which manifest themselves as a negative slope of the phase...

3. Measurements of Masses and Radii Of Neutron Stars

Dr Tolga Güver (Istanbul University)

4/25/16, 12:10 PM

In this talk I will present the current state of mass and radius measurements of neutron stars in low mass X-ray binaries obtained during thermonuclear ​X-ray ​bursts or in quiescence.​ ​Taking into account a number of systematic uncertainties that may be present in the measurements as well as ​the ​results of recent theoretical calculations​ we obtain strong and quantitative constraints on...
