Deconfinement to Quark Matter in Neutron Stars - The Influence of Strong Magnetic Fields
arXiv:1208.1320 · doi:10.1063/1.4795968
Abstract
We use an extended version of the hadronic SU(3) non-linear realization of the sigma model that also includes quarks to study hybrid stars. Within this approach, the degrees of freedom change naturally as the temperature/density increases. Different prescriptions of charge neutrality, local and global, are tested and the influence of strong magnetic fields and the anomalous magnetic moment on the particle population is discussed.
