In this work, we investigate the properties of hadronic and quark matter that would allow for a first order phase transition between them within neutron stars. To this end, we use a parameterizable Relativistic Mean-Field (RMF) description for the hadronic phase and a Renormalization Group-consistent Nambu-Jona-Lasino (RG-NJL) model for the quark phase. This also enables us to consider sequential phase transitions involving a two-flavor color-superconducting (2SC) and a color-flavor-locked (CFL) phase. We find large ranges for all parameters that facilitate a phase transition, even when constrained by current astrophysical data. We further attempt to filter out stars with a high chance of detectability by mass-radius measurement, i.e., stars with identical mass but different radii, so-called twin stars. However, we find that such configurations are outside the constrained parameter spaces. Instead, most of the mass-radius relations that feature a phase transition appear to be indistinguishable from a purely hadronic description.

  1. Neutrino absorption in two-flavor color-superconducting quark matter

    nucl-th 2025-09 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    In 2SC quark matter, neutrino absorption is dominated by strange-quark capture at low temperature, and a degenerate neutrino gas at electron lepton fraction 0.1 has a mean free path of meters or less.

  2. The petit four of color-superconducting phases in proto-neutron star evolution

    nucl-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Along constant-baryon-number cooling tracks, color-superconducting cores in proto-neutron stars follow four scenarios, with stable cold CSC only in a narrow high-mass band for the chosen EoS.

  3. Suppression of dynamical momentum-space shell by chiral symmetry

    nucl-th 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In a parity doublet model, self-consistent minimization keeps the quark fraction at zero up to about 8n0, showing quark onset and chiral restoration need not coincide.

  4. Ferromagnetic instabilities in quarkyonic matter

    nucl-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Quarkyonic neutron matter can turn ferromagnetic below about 5.5 n0, but only with a hand-chosen negative spin-spin interaction constant.

  5. Origin of nucleon mass in the light of PSR J0614-3329 with quark-hadron crossover

    nucl-th 2025-09 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    The parity doublet model combined with the new NICER radius measurement restricts the chiral invariant nucleon mass m0 to 800-860 MeV, implying it is at least 85% of the nucleon mass.

  6. Quantifying the Information Gain from Future High-Precision Radius Measurements for Identifying Twin Neutron Stars

    astro-ph.HE 2026-07 reject novelty 4.0 of 10

    The paper claims a radius precision of ~0.2 km is enough to extract most Bayesian information for identifying twin neutron stars, but its own distinguishability and entropy analyses suggest notable gains remain down t...

  7. Effect of Dark matter and $\sigma$-cut potential on radial and non-radial oscillation modes in neutron stars

    astro-ph.HE 2025-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Dark matter-admixed neutron stars oscillate at higher f- and p1-mode frequencies than ordinary or σ-cut models, while quasi-universal oscillation relations still hold.

  8. Two-flavor color superconductivity in a general Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model with color and charge neutrality

    hep-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    In a Fierz-complete NJL model with neutrality constraints, scalar-isovector, vector-isovector, and vector-isovector-color-octet channels significantly shape the two-flavor color-superconducting phase diagram, and an i...
