Gluon Vortices and Induced Magnetic Field in Compact Stars
The natural candidates for the realization of color superconductivity are the
extremely dense cores of compact stars, many of which have very large magnetic
fields, especially the so-called magnetars. In this paper we discuss how a
color superconducting core can serve to generate and enhance the stellar
magnetic field without appealing to a magnetohydrodynamic dynamo mechanism.Comment: To appear in the Proceedings of the VII Latin American Symposium on

Measuring Neutrino Oscillations with Nuclear Reactors
Since the first direct observations of antineutrino events by Reines and Cowan in the 1950's [1], nuclear reactors have been an important tool in the study of neutrino properties. More recently, the study of neutrino oscillations has been a very active area of research. The pioneering observation of oscillations by the KamLAND experiment has provided crucial information on the neutrino mixing matrix. New experiments to study the remaining unknown mixing angle are currently under development. These recent studies and potential future developments will be discussed

Magnetic Phases in Dense Quark Matter
In this paper I discuss the magnetic phases of the three-flavor color
superconductor. These phases can take place at different field strengths in a
highly dense quark system. Given that the best natural candidates for the
realization of color superconductivity are the extremely dense cores of neutron
stars, which typically have very large magnetic fields, the magnetic phases
here discussed could have implications for the physics of these compact
objects.Comment: Presented at VII Latin American Symposium on Nuclear Physics and
