Quark Deconfinement in Rotating Neutron Stars

Quark Deconfinement in Rotating Neutron Stars

In this paper, we use a three flavor non-local Nambu–Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model, an improved effective model of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) at low energies, to investigate the existence of deconfined quarks in the cores of neutron stars. Particular emphasis is put on the possible existence of quark m...
