Hybrid neutron-star equations of state remain sensitive to the low-density nucleonic model at transition densities around 2ρ₀, with model spread in radius and tidal deformability exceeding observational uncertainty by factors of ~1.8 and ~1.4.
The quark-hadron mixed phase width in hybrid stars is mainly controlled by effective nucleon mass and symmetry energy, with temperature reducing the width and softening the EOS while strong vector repulsion is needed to match massive pulsar and NICER data.
QCD features at least three phases at zero baryon density and three at high density, including a Quarkyonic phase at high density and low temperature, described via large-N_c and a parameter-free 3D string model.
