TL;DR: In this paper, the authors calculate the equation of state for hot dense matter and discuss the implications of stellar collapse on hot dense mass and discuss implications for stellar collapse in the future.
Abstract: We calculate the equation of state for hot dense matter and discuss implications for stellar collapse.

TL;DR: In this article, a detailed transport model study of kaon production in heavy-ion collisions at SIS energies is presented, where the main purpose of such a study is to constrain kaon in-medium properties from the heavy ion data.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors estimate that about one in a hundred pulsars may be passing through this phase and estimate that the braking index should be easily measurable during the transition epoch and can be removed by orders of magnitude from the canonical value of 3 expected for magnetic dipole radiation.
Abstract: The conversion of nuclear matter to quark matter in the core of a rotating neutron star alters its moment of inertia, so the epoch over which conversion takes place will be signaled in the spin-down characteristics of pulsars. An observable called the braking index should be easily measurable during the transition epoch and can have a value removed by orders of magnitude from the canonical value of 3 expected for magnetic dipole radiation. The duration of the transition epoch is governed by the slow loss of angular momentum to radiation and is further prolonged by the reduction in the moment of inertia caused by the phase change which can even introduce an era of spin-up. We estimate that about one in a hundred pulsars may be passing through this phase.

TL;DR: In this article, a quasiparticle description of deconfined matter, reproducing both the perturbative limit and nonperturbative lattice QCD data at finite temperature, is generalized to finite chemical potential.
Abstract: A quasiparticle description of the thermodynamics of deconfined matter, reproducing both the perturbative limit and nonperturbative lattice QCD data at finite temperature, is generalized to finite chemical potential. By a flow equation resulting from Maxwell's relation, the equation of state is extended from zero to nonzero quark densities. The impact of the massive strange flavor is considered and implications for cold, charge-neutral deconfined matter in $\ensuremath{\beta}$ equilibrium in compact stars are given.
