We introduce a family of equations of state (EoS) for hybrid neutron star (NS) matter that is obtained by a two-zone parabolic interpolation between a soft hadronic EoS at low densities and a set of stiff quark matter EoS at high densities within a finite region of chemical potentials $mu_H < mu < mu_Q$. Fixing the hadronic EoS as the APR one and chosing the color-superconductiong, nonlocal NJL model with two free parameters for the quark phase, we perform Bayesian analyses with this two-parameter family of hybrid EoS. Using three different sets of observational constraints that include the mass of PSR J0740+6620, the tidal deformability for GW170817 and the mass-radius relation for PSR J0030+0451 from NICER as obligatory (set 1), while set 2 uses the possible upper limit on the maximum mass from GW170817 as additional constraint and set 3 instead the possibility that the lighter object in the asymmetric binary merger GW190814 is a neutron star. We confirm that in any case the quark matter phase has to be color superconducting with the dimensionless diquark coupling approximately fulfilling the Fierz relation $eta_D=0.75$ and the most probable solutions exhibiting a proportionality between $eta_D$ and $eta_V$, the coupling of the repulsive vector interaction that is required for a sufficiently large maximum mass. We anticipate the outcome of the NICER radius measurement on PSR J0740+6220 as a fictitious constraint and find evidence for claiming that GW190814 was a binary black hole merger if the radius will be 11 km or less.

We report the results of a study aimed at inferring direct information on the repulsive three-nucleon potential $V^R_{ijk}$textemdash driving the stiffness of the nuclear matter equation of state at supranuclear densitiestextemdash from astrophysical observations. Using a Bayesian approach, we exploit the measurements of masses, radii and tidal deformabalities performed by the NICER satellite and the LIGO/Virgo collaboration, as well as the mass of the heaviest observed pulsar, to constrain the strength of $V^R_{ijk}$. The baseline of our analysis is the widely employed nuclear Hamiltonian comprising the Argonne $v_{18}$ nucleon-nucleon potential andthe Urbana IX model of three-nucleon potential. The numerical results, largely determined by the bound on the maximum mass, suggest that existing and future facilities have the potential to provide valuable new insight into microscopic nuclear dynamics at supranuclear densities.
The equation of state (EoS) of the neutron star (NS) matter remains an enigma. In this work we perform the Bayesian parameter inference with the gravitational wave data (GW170817) and mass-radius observations of some NSs (PSR J0030+0451, PSR J0437-47 15, and 4U 1702-429) using the phenomenologically constructed EoS models to search for a potential first-order phase transition. Our phenomenological EoS models take the advantages of current widely used parametrizing methods, which are flexible enough to resemble various theoretical EoS models. We find that the current observation data are still not informative enough to support/rule out phase transition, due to the comparable evidences for models with and without phase transition. However, the bulk properties of the canonical $1.4,M_odot$ NS and the pressure at around $2rho_{rm sat}$ are well constrained by the data, where $rho_{rm sat}$ is the nuclear saturation density. Moreover, strong phase transition at low densities is disfavored, and the $1sigma$ lower bound of transition density is constrained to $1.84rho_{rm sat}$.
We investigate the possibility that GW170817 has not been the merger of two conventional neutron stars (NS) but involved at least one if not two hybrid stars with a quark matter core which might even belong to a third family of compact stars. To this end, we develop a Bayesian analysis method for selecting the most probable equation of state (EoS) under a set of constraints from compact star physics, which now also include the tidal deformability from GW170817 and the first result for the mass and radius determination for PSR J0030+0451 by NICER. We apply this method for the first time to a two-parameter family of hybrid EoS based on the DD2 model with nucleonic excluded volume for hadronic matter and the color superconducting generalized nlNJL model for quark matter. The model has a variable onset of deconfinement and can mimic the effects of pasta phases with the possibility of a third family of hybrid stars in the mass-radius ($M-R$) diagram. The main findings of this study are that: 1) the presence of multiple configurations for a given mass (twins) corresponds to a set of disconnected lines in the diagram of tidal deformabilities for binary mergers, so that merger events from the same mass range may result in a probability landscape with different peak positions; 2) the Bayesian analysis with the above observational constraints favors an early onset of the deconfinement transition, at masses of $M_{rm onset}le 0.8~M_odot$ with a $M-R$ relationship that in the range of observed neutron star masses is almost indistinguishable from that of a soft hadronic APR EoS; 3) a few yet fictitious measurements of the NICER experiment with a $1sigma$ range that is half of the present value and different mass and radius would change the posterior likelihood so that hybrid EoS with a phase transition onset in the range $M_{rm onset} = 1.1 - 1.6~M_odot $ would be favored.
The observations of compact star inspirals from LIGO/Virgo provide a valuable tool to study the highly uncertain equation of state (EOS) of dense matter at the densities in which the compact stars reside. It is not clear whether the merging stars are neutron stars or quark stars containing self-bound quark matter. In this work, we explore the allowed bag-model-like EOSs by assuming the merging stars are strange quark stars (SQSs) from a Bayesian analysis employing the tidal deformability observational data of the GW170817 and GW190425 binary mergers. We consider two extreme states of strange quark matter, either in nonsuperfluid or color-flavor locked (CFL) and find the results in these two cases essentially reconcile. In particular, our results indicate that the sound speed in the SQS matter is approximately a constant close to the conformal limit of $c/sqrt{3}$. The universal relations between the mass, the tidal deformability and the compactness are provided for the SQSs. The most probable values of the maximum mass are found to be $M_{rm TOV}=2.10_{-0.12}^{+0.12}~(2.15_{-0.14}^{+0.16}),M_{odot}$ for normal (CFL) SQSs at a $90%$ confidence level. The corresponding radius and tidal deformability for a $1.4,M_{odot}$ star are $R_{rm 1.4}= 11.50_{-0.55}^{+0.52}~({11.42}_{-0.44}^{+0.52})~rm km$ and $Lambda_{1.4}= {650}_{-190}^{+230}~({630}_{-150}^{+220})$, respectively. We also investigate the possibility of GW190814s secondary component $m_2$ of mass $2.59_{-0.09}^{+0.08},M_{odot}$ being an SQS, and find that it could be a CFL SQS with the pairing gap $Delta$ larger than $244~rm MeV$ and the effective bag parameter $B_{rm eff}^{1/4}$ in the range of $170$ to $192$ MeV, at a $90%$ confidence level.
In this paper, we examine neutron star structure in perturbative $f(R)$ gravity models with realistic equation of state. We obtain mass-radius relations in two gravity models of the form $f_{1}(R)=R+ alpha R(e^{-R/R_0}-1)$ and $f_{2}(R)=R+alpha R^2$. For this purpose, we consider NS with several nucleonic as well as strange EoSs generated in the framework of relativistic mean field models. The strange particles in the core of NS are in the form of $Lambda$ hyperons and quarks, in addition to the nucleons and leptons. The M-R relation of the chosen EoSs lies well within the observational limit in the case of GR. We show that these EoSs provide the most stringent constraint on the perturbative parameter $alpha$ and therefore can be considered as important experimental probe for modified gravity at astrophysical level.
