We investigate the properties of charge neutral equilibrium cold quark matter within the Nambu Jona-Lasinio model. The calculations are carried out for di erent ratios of coupling constants characterizing the vector and scalar 4 fermion interaction, xi = GV /GS. It is shown that for xi < 0.4 matter is self bound and for xi < 0.65 it has a first order phase transition of the liquid gas type. The Gibbs conditions in the mixed phase are applied for the case of two chemical potentials associated with the baryon number and electric charge. The characteristics of the quark stars are calculated for xi = 0, 0.5 and 1. It is found that the phase transition leads to a strong density variation at the surface of these stars. For xi = 1 the properties of quark stars show behaviors typical for neutron stars. At >< 0.4 the stars near to the maximum mass have a large admixture of strange quarks in their interiors.

Recent progress in the understanding of the high density phase of neutron stars advances the view that a substantial fraction of the matter consists of hyperons. The possible impacts of a highly attractive interaction between hyperons on the properties of compact stars are investigated. We find that a hadronic equation of state with hyperons allows for a first order phase transition to hyperonic matter. The corresponding hyperon stars can have rather small radii of R ~ 8 km.

We study in detail the nuclear aspects of a neutron-star merger in which deconfinement to quark matter takes place. For this purpose, we make use of the Chiral Mean Field (CMF) model, an effective relativistic model that includes self-consistent chiral symmetry restoration and deconfinement to quark matter and, for this reason, predicts the existence of different degrees of freedom depending on the local density/chemical potential and temperature. We then use the out-of-chemical-equilibrium finite-temperature CMF equation of state in full general-relativistic simulations to analyze which regions of different QCD phase diagrams are probed and which conditions, such as strangeness and entropy, are generated when a strong first-order phase transition appears. We also investigate the amount of electrons present in different stages of the merger and discuss how far from chemical equilibrium they can be and, finally, draw some comparisons with matter created in supernova explosions and heavy-ion collisions.
Es wurde in dieser Arbeit gezeigt, daß es möglich ist, die der Spin-Eichtheorie zugrundeliegende Lagrangedichte so zu verallgemeinern, daß die aus ihr folgende Higgsfeldgleichung eine gravitationsähnliche Wechselwirkung enthält. Der symmetrische Teil des kanonische Energie-Impulstensors des Higgsfeldes tritt als Quelle der symmetrischen Bewegungsgleichung der angeregten Higgsfelder in Erscheinung. Ein Vergleich der zweiten Ordnung des symmetrischen Teils der Higgsfeldgleichung mit der zweiten Ordnung der Einsteingleichung im materiefreien Fall zeigt, daß beide bis auf einen antisymmetrischen Divergenzterm A m n a a der den Energie Impuls-Erhaltungssatz nicht beeinflußt, übereinstimmen. Geht man wegen der Nichtlokalität des EIST's des Gravitationsfeldes, auf der Seite der klassischen Beschreibung zu einem grobkörnigen EIST über, so stimmt dieser mit dem EIST des Higgsfeldes überein. Sieht man von in kleinen Raumzeitvolumen stark uktuierenden Termen ab, so sind die Differentialgleichungen von Gravitations und Higgsfeldwellen bis zur zweiten Ordnung identisch. Betrachtet man eine Raumzeit mit fermionischer Materie, so stimmt die erste Ordnung der Feldgleichungen ebenfalls überein. Die Higgsfeldgleichung in zweiter Ordnung koppelt halb so stark an die fermionische Materie wie es die klassische Gleichung in zweiter Ordnung tut, was auf zusätzliche Spinanteile der Higgsfelder zurückzuführen ist. Die Arbeit hat damit gezeigt, daß die durch das Higgsfeld vermittelte Kraft die Eigenschaften einer gravitativen Wechselwirkung besitzt. Daraus ergibt sich, daß nun folgende Punkte interessant sind: 1) Die in dieser Arbeit nicht betrachteten antisymmetrischen Anteile der Higgsfeldgleichung sollten auf ihre physikalische Relevanz untersucht werden, um eventuell entstehende Torsions und Nichtmetrizitätsanteile aufzuzeigen. 2) Die durch den Divergenzterm auftretenden Unterschiede der zweiten Ordnung der Spin-Eichtheorie mit der klassischen Theorie sollten genauer untersucht werden, um mögliche meßbare Unterschiede offen zu legen und die Interpretation des A m n a a-terms zu klären 3) Die in der Spin-Eichtheorie mögliche mikroskopische Betrachtungsweise sollte man quantentheoretisch formulieren und alle der Spin-Eichtheorie eigenen Felder quantisieren. 4) Der in dieser Arbeit betrachtete Iso-skalare Fall sollte Iso-vektoriell verallgemeinert werden, um so eine Vereinheitlichung mit den anderen drei Wechselwirkungen zu ermöglichen
In this work, we discuss the dense matter equation of state (EOS) for the extreme range of conditions encountered in neutron stars and their mergers. The calculation of the properties of such an EOS involves modeling different degrees of freedom (such as nuclei, nucleons, hyperons, and quarks), taking into account different symmetries, and including finite density and temperature effects in a thermodynamically consistent manner. We begin by addressing subnuclear matter consisting of nucleons and a small admixture of light nuclei in the context of the excluded volume approach. We then turn our attention to supranuclear homogeneous matter as described by the Chiral Mean Field (CMF) formalism. Finally, we present results from realistic neutron-star-merger simulations performed using the CMF model that predict signatures for deconfinement to quark matter in gravitational wave signals.
The effects of internal quark structure of baryons on the composition and structure of neutron star matter with hyperons are investigated in the quark- meson coupling (QMC) model. The QMC model is based on mean-field description of nonoverlapping spherical bags bound by self-consistent exchange of scalar and vector mesons. The predictions of this model are compared with quantum hadrodynamic (QHD) model calibrated to reproduce identical nuclear matter saturation properties. By employing a density dependent bag constant through direct coupling to the scalar field, the QMC model is found to exhibit identical properties as QHD near saturation density. Furthermore, this modified QMC model provides well-behaved and continuous solutions at high densities relevant to the core of neutron stars. Two additional strange mesons are introduced which couple only to the strange quark in the QMC model and to the hyperons in the QHD model. The constitution and structure of stars with hyperons in the QMC and QHD models reveal interesting di erences. This suggests the importance of quark structure e ects in the baryons at high densities.

We investigate various properties of neutron star matter within an e ective chiral SU(3)L × SU(3)R model. The predictions of this model are compared with a Walecka-type model. It is demonstrated that the importance of hy- peron degrees are strongly depending on the interaction used, even if the equation of state near saturation density is nearly the same in both models. While the Walecka-type model predicts a strange star core with strangeness fraction fS 4/3, the chiral model allows only for fS 1/3 and predicts that 0, + and 0 will not exist in star, in contrast to the Walecka-type model.

Gravitational waves, electromagnetic radiation, and the emission of high energy particles probe the phase structure of the equation of state of dense matter produced at the crossroad of the closely related relativistic collisions of heavy ions and of binary neutron stars mergers. 3 + 1 dimensional special- and general relativistic hydrodynamic simulation studies reveal a unique window of opportunity to observe phase transitions in compressed baryon matter by laboratory based experiments and by astrophysical multimessenger observations. The astrophysical consequences of a hadron-quark phase transition in the interior of a compact star will be focused within this article. Especially with a future detection of the post-merger gravitational wave emission emanated from a binary neutron star merger event, it would be possible to explore the phase structure of quantum chromodynamics. The astrophysical observables of a hadron-quark phase transition in a single compact star system and binary hybrid star merger scenario will be summarized within this article. The FAIR facility at GSI Helmholtzzentrum allows one to study the universe in the laboratory, and several astrophysical signatures of the quark-gluon plasma have been found in relativistic collisions of heavy ions and will be explored in future experiments.
The long-awaited detection of a gravitational wave from the merger of a binary neutron star in August 2017 (GW170817) marked the beginning of the new field of multi-messenger gravitational wave astronomy. By exploiting the extracted tidal deformations of the two neutron stars from the late inspiral phase of GW170817, it was possible to constrain several global properties of the equation of state of neutron star matter. By means of fully general-relativistic hydrodynamic simulations, it is possible to get an insight into the hydrodynamic evolution of matter and into the structure of the space–time deformation caused by the remnant of binary neutron star merger. Neutron star mergers represent an optimal astrophysical laboratory to investigate the phase transition from confined hadronic matter to deconfined quark matter. With future gravitational wave detectors, it will most likely be possible in the near future to investigate the hadron-quark phase transition by analyzing the spectrum of the post-merger gravitational wave of the differentially rotating hypermassive hybrid star. In contrast to hypermassive neutron stars, these highly differentially rotating objects contain deconfined strange quark matter in their slowly rotating inner region.
