HI-DENSITY STAR QUESTIONS. “What is the equation of state of nuclear matter at neutron star densities, and what are the relevant degrees of freedom at these densities? Is there a phase transition from hadronic to quark-gluon matter, or a region of phase coexistence? Do exotic QCD phases like quarkyonic matter exist?” https://lnkd.in/d3WhYQX View in LinkedIn

QUARKS + GLUONS. “The Compressed Baryonic Matter (CBM) experiment will be one of the major scientific pillars of the future Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) in Darmstadt. The goal of the CBM research program is to explore the QCD phase diagram in the region of high baryon densities using high-energy nucleus-nucleus collisions.” (QCD = quantum chromodynamics (QCD) is the theory of the strong interaction between quarks and gluons). https://lnkd.in/d3WhYQX View in LinkedIn

“STRANGE QUARK STARS may be naked SQM objects wrapped in simple nuclear crusts or bulk SQM nuclei. The possible presence of nuclear crusts creates SSs that are very similar to normal neutron stars for a distant observer.” (SSs = strange quark stars; SQM = strange quark matter); for full reference paste title into Google Scholar. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10509-018-3335-9 View in LinkedIn

STRANGE QUARK STARS. “A thorough search in the currently detected ~2950 exoplanets around normal main-sequence stars has failed to identify any stable close-in objects that meet the SQM criteria, i.e., lying in the tidal disruption region for normal matter planets. However, the pulsar planet PSR J1719-1438B, with an orbital radius of ~6 × 10(10) cm and orbital period of 7837 s, is, encouragingly, found to be a good candidate.” (SQM = strange quark matter). https://lnkd.in/d-4qzTw View in LinkedIn
