Quark matter cores in neutron stars [CL]

http://arxiv.org/abs/1904.05471


We review the prospects for detecting quark matter in neutron star cores. We survey the proposed signatures and emphasize the importance of data from neutron star mergers, which provide access to dynamical properties that operate on short timescales that are not probed by other neutron star observables.
