Matter Phase

We study the presence of thermodynamic instabilities in a nuclear medium at finite temperature and density where nuclear phase transitions can take place. Such a phase transition is characterized by pure hadronic matter with both mechanical instability (fluctuations on the baryon density) that by chemical-diffusive instability (fluctuations on the electric charge concentration). Similarly to the liquid-gas phase transition, the nucleonic and the Δ-matter phase have a different isospin density in the mixed phase. In the liquid-gas phase transition, the process of producing a larger neutron excess in the gas phase is referred to as isospin fractionation. A similar effects can occur in the nucleon-Δ matter phase transition due essentially to a Δ- excess in the Δ-matter phase in asymmetric nuclear matter. In this context we also discuss the relevance of Δ-isobar and hyperon degrees of freedom in the bulk properties of the protoneutron stars at fixed entropy per baryon, in the presence and in the absence of trapped neutrinos.

Matter Component

We use a modified SU(2) chiral sigma model to study nuclear matter component and simple bag model for quark matter constituting a neutron star. We also study the phase transition of nuclear matter to quark matter with the mixed phase characterized by two conserved charges in the interior of highly dense neutron stars. Stable solutions of Tolman–Oppenheimer–Volkoff equations representing hybrid stars are obtained with a maximum mass of 1.67M⊙ and radius around 8.9 km.

Quark Theory

We discuss the saturation mechanism for the nuclear matter equation of state in a chiral effective quark theory. The importance of the scalar polarizability of the nucleon is emphasized. The phase transition to color superconducting quark matter is also discussed.

Wave Emission

We discuss, in this work, new aspects related to the emission of gravitational waves by neutron stars, which undergo a phase transition, from nuclear to quark matter, in its inner core. Such a phase transition would liberate around 1052–53 erg of energy in the form of gravitational waves which, if detected, may shed some light in the structure of these compact objects and provide new insights on the equation of state of nuclear matter.
