This work extends our previous study of isospin symmetric quarkyonic matter to quarkyonic neutron matter which might be relevant to the inner cores of neutron stars. The vector-isovector $\rho$ mesons are introduced to the model mainly to account for isospin density interactions, just like $\omega$ meson for baryon density interactions. The modified Lagrangian still preserves approximate chiral symmetry which could be significantly broken at lower density. And new free parameters are fixed by adopting the experimental constraints on the symmetry energy and its slope at saturation density. Eventually, the pressure, mass-radius relation, and tidal deformability are explored in advance for the quarkyonic neutron stars. While the pressure and tidal deformability are well consistent with experimental and observational restrictions, the mass-radius relation is unable to reproduce the observed two solar mass of PSR J0740+6620.

    A three-flavor quarkyonic model with octet baryons yields stiffer neutron-star EOS and raises maximum masses, potentially resolving the hyperon puzzle.
