Requiring causal stable thermodynamically consistent extensions of neutron-star EOS models to perturbative QCD constrains high-density behavior and disfavors purely nucleonic descriptions for all stable stars.
Bayesian analysis favors a strong first-order phase transition in cold dense QCD matter whose onset lies above the central density of the most massive observed neutron stars.
Mass-gap compact objects could be hybrid stars only with very early deconfinement and stiff quark matter; confirming 1.4 M⊙ twin stars would cap hybrid-star maximum mass below 2.2 M⊙.
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.
