Neutron star interiors and the equation of state of ultra-dense matter
There has been much recent progress in our understanding of quark matter,
culminating in the discovery that if such matter exists in the cores of neutron
stars it ought to be in a color superconducting state. This paper explores the
impact of superconducting quark matter on the properties (e.g., masses, radii,
surface gravity, photon emission) of compact stars.Comment: 3 pages, 4 figures; Paper presented at the Int. Conf. on Quark
