超子耦合常数对混合星性质的影响

用相对论平均场理论描述强子物质, 用NJL模型描述夸克物质研究了超子耦合常数对混合星性质的影响. 结果表明, 随着超子耦合常数的增大, 强子-夸克相变密度变小, 混合相区域的状态方程变硬, 中子星的最大质量及对应的半径变大. 超子耦合常数由0.73增到1.0时, 混合星最大质量由1.68M_⊙增至1.84M_⊙, 相应的半径由11.4km变到12.5km. 该夸克模型下不同强子参数组对应的混合星性质也有较明显的差异. 可知, 其适合于描述大质量而小夸克核心的混合星.     

色味锁夸克物质与夸克星

讨论了零温、强磁场下基于准粒子模型的奇异夸克物质、色味锁夸克物质的热力学性质.结果表明色味锁夸克物质比奇异夸克物质更稳定,压强会随着色味锁态能隙常数的增大而增加.并且发现强磁场下磁星的最大质量会随着色味锁夸克物质的能隙常数的增加而增加,磁星的潮汐形变率会随着能隙常数的增加而增加,磁星最大质量的中心密度会随着能隙常数的增加而降低.结果还说明考虑色味锁态得到的磁星质量半径关系可以满足最近实验观测PSR J0740+6620, PSR J0030+0451,和HESS J1731-347所给出的质量半径约束.     

包含暗物质的强子夸克混合星

研究了含有暗物质的夸克核心混合星的观测属性。用相对论平均场理论和有效质量口袋模型分别描述夸克核心的混合星物质内强子相和夸克相,用Gibbs相平衡条件描述强子-夸克混合相,研究了由于包含强、弱相互作用的费米子暗物质对混合星质量、半径、引力红移、自转频率和转动惯量等整体观测属性的影响。结果表明,在强、弱相互作用下,暗物质粒子质量大于等于0.5 GeV时暗物质会使混合星的状态方程比无暗物质时有一定软化,相应的混合星最大质量减少。当调节暗物质粒子质量研究表明,随着暗物质粒子质量的增大,夸克核心的混合星物质的状态方程变软,混合星的质量、半径变小,并且引力红移、自转频率和转动惯量等整体观测属性也明显依赖于暗物质粒子的质量。当暗物质粒子质量0.1 GeV时,包含强、弱作用暗物质的混合星质量达到2.0 M_⊙和2.8 M_⊙（其中M_⊙为太阳质量）,说明大质量脉冲星PSR J1859-0131和J1931-01可能是包含小质量暗粒子暗物质的强子夸克的混合星。整体观测属性的计算结果均在中子星的天文观察数据范围内,也说明强子夸克的混合星内可能包含暗物质。The observational properties of quark core hybrid star contain dark matter are studied. The influences of containing of strongly or weakly interacting dark matter to global observational features of hybrid stars, mass, radius, gravitational red-shift, rotational period and moment of inertia are studied by using relativistic mean field theory to describe hadron phase, effective mass bag model to quark phase, and Gibbs phase equilibrium conditions to hadron-quark mixed phase respectively. Our results indicate that, both in the strong and weak interacting case, the equation of state for hybrid star matter contain dark matter become softer than that of without dark matter while the mass of dark matter particles larger than 0.5 GeV, which leads to the decrease of the mass and corresponding radius of hybrid star. With the increase of the dark matter particle mass, the equation of state for hybrid star matter become softer, this cause the decrease of the mass and radius of hybrid star obviously. The gravitational red-shift and the rotational period, obviously increase of the moment of inertia of the hybrid stars are influenced by the dark matter particle mass. When the dark matter particle mass is equal to 0.1 GeV, the masses of the star with strong and weak interacting dark matter reach to 2.0 M_⊙ and 2.8 M_⊙(M_⊙ is the solar mass), this result indicates that the giant mass PSR, J1859-0131 and J1931-01, can be a hadron-quark hybrid star and containing dark matter with small dark particle mass. The computational results of all above global observational features of hybrid stars are in the range of astronomical observation data, these also indicate that hybrid star with quark core may contains dark matter.     

热力学自洽的质量密度依赖夸克模型与混合星

用热力学自洽的质量密度依赖夸克模型描述夸克物质研究了混合星的基本性质, 计算了混合星内粒子分布、状态方程和对应的质量-半径关系. 结果表明, 质量密度依赖夸克模型中由热力学自洽处理所引起的压强附加项使整个混合星的状态方程变软, 相变始末点推迟, 从而使混合星的最大质量由无附加项时的大于2.4M_⊙, 变到小于1.8M_⊙, 相应的半径R由大于15km变到小于12.0km. 与NJL模型类似, 该模型更适合描述大质量的混合星.

等效质量模型中的重子质量谱

在等效质量模型框架下,考虑线性禁闭和一阶微扰相互作用的贡献并通过拟合$ \mathrm{p} $、$ \mathrm{n}$、$\Lambda$和$ \Delta $的质量来得到模型参数。发现,等效质量模型能够较好地给出符合实验的重子质量谱。而禁闭强度$D$、强耦合常数$\alpha_{\rm{s}}$以及夸克质量因子$f$与微扰强度$C$之间都存在关联,并能够很好地用解析公式逼近。除此之外,单胶子交换相互作用的色磁部分在重子质量谱中起着重要作用,从而使自旋$J=1/2$和3/2的重子之间的质量差最高达到300 MeV。为了更好地描述超子质量,对于包含奇异夸克的一对夸克间的相互作用我们进一步采用不同的强耦合常数,其具体的模型参数通过拟合$ \Sigma $和$ \Xi $的质量得到。基于本工作得到的等效质量模型参数组,能够更好地描述$ \mathrm{ud}$夸克物质团、奇异子以及致密星。     

Belle实验发现新粲重子存在的迹象

粲重子是含有粲夸克的一类重子。粲重子存在很丰富的激发态,粲重子谱的研究对理解轻夸克在含重夸克系统中的动力学行为,以及检验重夸克对称性和轻夸克手征对称性具有重要意义。Λ_c⁺是质量最轻的粲重子,它是由一个粲夸克、一个上夸克和一个下夸克构成的同位旋单态。最近,日本的Belle实验利用在Υ(4S)中心质量采集的772×10⁶对■介子样本,对■衰变过程进行了研究,并在Σ_c(2455)⁰,⁺⁺π^±的不变质量谱上发现了一个新的共振结构。在考虑系统误差后,该共振结构最保守的信号显著性为4.2倍标准偏差。这意味着,该结构的形成源于统计涨落和各种系统误差的概率不足0.002%。Belle实验测得这个新结构的质量为(2913.8±5.6±3.8) MeV/c²,宽度为(51.8±20.0±18.8) MeV。虽然这个新结构的性质目前还不完全清楚,但它很符合新的Λ_c激发态的性质,暂时被命名为Λ_c     

Equation of state in hybrid stars and the stability window of quark matter

Properties of hybrid stars with a mixed phase composed of asymmetric nuclear matter and strange quark matter are studied. The quark phase is investigated by the quark quasiparticle model with a self-consistent thermodynamic and statistical treatment. We present the stability windows of the strange quark matter with respect to the interaction coupling constant versus the bag constant. We find that the appearance of the quark–hadron mixed phases is associated with the meta-stable or unstable regions of the pure quark matter parameters. The mass–radius relation of the hybrid star is dominated by the equation of state of quark matter rather than nuclear matter. The contour plots of the maximum mass of the hybrid star are shown in the plane of the coupling constant and the bag constant.     

Properties of quark matter in a new quasiparticle model with QCD running coupling

The running of the QCD coupling in the effective mass causes thermodynamic inconsistency problem in the conventional quasiparticle model. We provide a novel treatment which removes the inconsistency by an effective bag constant. The chemical potential dependence of the renormalization subtraction point is constrained by the Cauchy condition in the chemical potential space. The stability and microscopic properties of strange quark matter are then studied within the completely self-consistent quasiparticle model, and the obtained equation of state of quark matter is applied to the investigation of strange stars. It is found that our improved model can describe well compact stars with mass about two times the solar mass, which indicates that such massive compact stars could be strange stars.     

Constraints for critical temperature of the phase transition into the quark-gluon plasma

Low temperature of the phase transition into the quark-gluon plasma correspond to low values of the bag model constant and to absolutely stable strange quark matter. Some of the observed pulsars are identified quite reliably as neutron stars. If strange matter is stable, the central density of these pulsars is to be smaller that critical density of the phase transition into the nonstrange quark matter. The nonstrange quark matter being formed turns to more stable strange matter on a weak interaction timescale converting neutron stars into strange stars. The requirement of stability of old and newly born neutron stars is used to constrain the bag model constant and the critical temperature of the phase transition into the quark-gluon plasma at zero chemical potential.     

Phase transition to color-flavor-locked matter and condensation of Goldstone bosons in neutron star matter

Deconfinement phase transition and condensation of Goldstone bosons in neutron star matter are investigated in a chiral hadronic model (also referred as to the FST model) for the hadronic phase (HP) and in the color-flavor-locked (CFL) quark model for the deconfined quark phase. It is shown that the hadronic-CFL mixed phase (MP) exists in the center of neutron stars with a small bag constant, while the CFL quark matter cannot appear in neutron stars when a large bag constant is taken. Color superconductivity softens the equation of state (EOS) and decreases the maximum mass of neutron stars compared with the unpaired quark matter. The K⁰ condensation in the CFL phase has no remarkable contribution to the EOS and properties of neutron star matter. The EOS and the properties of neutron star matter are sensitive to the bag constant B, the strange quark mass m_s and the color superconducting gap Δ. Increasing B and m_s or decreasing Δ can stiffen the EOS which results in the larger maximum masses of neutron stars.     

Influence of medium effects on the rotating hybrid stars

A hybrid star with a pure quark core,a hadron crust and a mixed phase between the two is considered.The relativistic mean field model for hadron matter and the effective mass bag model for quark matter are used to construct the equation of state for hybrid stars.The influences of medium effects that are parameterized by the strong coupling constant have been discussed on the configuration of rotating stars.The strong coupling constant is a prominent factor that influences the properties of rotating hybrid stars.     

Properties of hybrid stars in an extended MIT bag model

The properties of hybrid stars are investigated in the framework of the relativistic mean field theory (RMFT) and an MIT bag model with density-dependent bag constant to describe the hadron phase (HP) and quark phase (QP), respectively. We find that the density-dependent B(p) decreases with baryon density p; this decrement makes the strange quark matter become more energetically favorable than ever, which makes the threshold densities of the hadron-quark phase transition lower than those of the original bag constant case. In this case, the hyperon degrees of freedom can not be considered. As a result, the equations of state of a star in the mixed phase (MP) become softer whereas those in the QP become stiffer, and the radii of the star obviously decrease. This indicates that the extended MIT bag model is more suitable to describe hybrid stars with small radii.     

Thermodynamics of strange quark matter with the density-dependent bag constant

The thermodynamics of strange quark matter with density dependent bag constant are studied self-consistently in the framework of the general ensemble theory and the MIT bag model.In our treatment,an additional term is found in the expression of pressure.With the additional term,the zero pressure locates exactly at the lowest energy state,indicating that our treatment is a self-consistently thermodynamic treatment.The self-consistent equations of state of strange quark matter in both the normal and color-fla...     

Quark matter imprint on gravitational waves from oscillating stars

We discuss the possibility that the detection of gravitational waves emitted by compact stars may allow to constrain the MIT bag model of quark matter equation of state. Our results show that the combined knowledge of the frequency of the emitted gravitational wave and of the mass, or the radiation radius, of the source allows one to discriminate between strange stars and neutron stars and set stringent bounds on the bag constants.     

Magnetized color flavor locked state and compact stars

The stability of the color flavor locked phase in the presence of a strong magnetic field is investigated within the phenomenological MIT bag model, taking into account the variation of the strange quark mass, the baryon density, the magnetic field, as well as the bag and gap parameters. It is found that the minimum value of the energy per baryon in a color flavor locked state at vanishing pressure is lower than the corresponding one for unpaired magnetized strange quark matter and, as the magnetic field increases, the energy per baryon decreases. This implies that magnetized color flavor locked matter is more stable and could become the ground state inside neutron stars. The mass-radius relation for such stars is also studied.
