Early quark deconfinement in compact star astrophysics and heavy-ion collisions [CL]

http://arxiv.org/abs/2208.09085


Based on a recently developed relativistic density functional approach to color-superconducting quark matter and a novel quark-hadron transition construction which phenomenologically accounts for the effects of inhomogeneous pasta phases and quark-hadron continuity, we construct a class of hybrid equations of state applicable at the regimes typical for compact star astrophysics and heavy ion collisions. We outline that early quark deconfinement is a notable consequence of strong diquark pairing providing a good agreement with the observational data and driving the trajectories of the matter evolution during the supernovae explosions toward the regimes typical for the compact star mergers and heavy-ion collisions.
