Interacting quark matter equation of state for compact stars
read the original abstract
Lattice QCD studies of the thermodynamics of the hot quark-gluon plasma (QGP) demonstrate the importance of accounting for the interactions of quarks and gluons, if one wants to investigate the phase structure of strongly interacting matter. Motivated by this observation and using state-of-the-art results from perturbative QCD, we construct a simple effective equation of state for cold quark matter that consistently incorporates the effects of interactions and furthermore includes a built-in estimate of the inherent systematic uncertainties. This goes beyond the MIT bag model description in a crucial way, yet leads to an equation of state that is equally straightforward to use.

Causality alone bounds the maximum radius difference between different-mass neutron stars
Causality anchored to χEFT at low density implies the closed-form bound R(2.0 M_⊙) ≤ 1.16 R(1.4 M_⊙) − 1.1 km for neutron stars sharing one causal EoS, saturated by an analytic one-parameter family.

Quark and hybrid stars with renormalization group improvement of NNLO perturbative QCD
RGOPT-resummed NNLO pQCD EoS for massive quarks in beta equilibrium is fitted and applied to construct pure quark stars (X=3.08-3.58) and hybrid stars (X~2-2.98) compatible with PSR J0740+6620 and GW190814.

General gravitational properties of neutron stars: curvature invariants, binding energy, and trace anomaly
Roughly half of realistic neutron-star equations of state produce stars with negative Ricci scalar inside, and an improved analytic fit links gravitational mass M to baryonic mass Mb with maximum 3 percent variance.

Quark Stars in Ricci-Determinant Gravity with an Interacting Quark Equation of State
Quark stars in Ricci-Determinant gravity with interacting quark EoS exhibit lower compactness than in GR and become unstable at high central densities when perturbative gravity terms exceed about half the GR contribution.
