Abstract

Under extreme conditions of temperature and/or density, quarks and gluons are expected to undergo a deconfinement phase transition. While this is an ephemeral phenomenon at the ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collider (BNL-RHIC), quark matter may exist naturally in the dense interior of neutron stars. Here, we present an appraisal of the possible phase structure of dense quark matter inside neutron stars, and the likelihood of its existence given the current status of neutron star observations. We conclude that quark matter inside neutron stars cannot be dismissed as a possibility, although recent observational evidence rules out most soft equations of state.

A complex de novo translocation of chromosomes 4, 6 and 21 in a child with dysmorphic features and unusual hematological findings

Journal Article Muneer, R.S. ; Hopcus, D.J. ; Sarale, C. - American Journal of Human Genetics

A 5 1/2-year-old white male was referred to our institution for evaluation of easy bruising confined to lower extremities since infancy. His family history is not significant with healthy parents and six normal siblings. Physical examination revealed weight and height both in 50th and 75th percentile, respectively. Major findings included macrocephaly with prominent forehead, hypertelorism with inner and outer canthus distances both above 97th percentile, epicanthus folds, normal ears with prominent upper pinnae, thin, sharp nose with pointed tip, neck with pterygium coli appearance and shortened clavicles, short thumbs with hyperconvex nails that curved around tip of fingers, abnormally bowedmore »« less
Neutron stars and strange stars in the chiral SU(3) quark mean field model

Journal Article P. Wang ; S. Lawley ; D. B. Leinweber ; ...

We investigate the equations of state for pure neutron matter and strange hadronic matter in {beta}-equilibrium, including {Lambda}, {Sigma} and {Xi} hyperons. The masses and radii of pure neutron stars and strange hadronic stars are obtained. For a pure neutron star, the maximum mass is about 1.8 M{sub sun}, while for a strange hadronic star, the maximum mass is around 1.45M{sub sun}. The typical radii of pure neutron stars and strange hadronic stars are about 11.0-12.3 km and 10.7-11.7 km, respectively.

Brown dwarfs, quark stars, and quark-hadron phase transition

Journal Article Cottingham, W.N. ; Kalafatis, D. ; Vinh Mau, R. - Physical Review Letters; (United States)

It is shown that within an effective model of QCD, the Lee-Wick model, bodies with quark content of mass of the order of 10[sup [minus]2] to one solar mass can be formed at a temperature [ital T][similar to]1 MeV much lower than the quark-hadron phase transition temperature. This ensures their stability until the present epoch, and we suggest that they can be identified with the dark objects observed recently by gravitational microlensing.

Detection of pedestal features in dark clouds: evidence for formation of low mass stars

Journal Article Frerking, M.A. ; Langer, W.D. - Astrophys. J.; (United States)

A survey of 180 dark, cold molecular clouds in /sup 12/CO has been made to search for unusual pedestal features resembling those observed in giant molecular clouds associated with embedded stellar sources. Low-intensity line wings with characteristic dispersions of 3 to 10 km s/sup -1/ (considerably smaller than pedestal features of giant molecular clouds) were detected in four of these sources. We suggest that these features probably arise from stellar winds associated with embedded low-mass stars.

Examination of Breger's catalog of spectrophotometric scans for broad, continuum features in peculiar A and mercury--manganese stars

Journal Article Adelman, S.J. - Publ. Astron. Soc. Pac.; (United States)

Published spectrophotometric scans of peculiar A and mercury-manganese stars with (B - V) <= to + 0.10 are examined for broad, continuum features. Four out of 26 Ap stars show the lambda 4200 feature, 19 out of 33 the lambda 5200 feature, and 3 of 29 the lambda 6300 feature. The lambda 5200 feature may be present in 2 of 11 HgMn stars. The detection of the lambda 5200 features via spectrophotometry is compared with the filter photometric results of Maitzen. Problems in the detection and in the measurement of these features are discussed.
