Properties of color-flavor locked matter in a quasiparticle model

We investigate the thermodynamical properties of color-flavor locked (CFL) quark matter at zero temperature, finite temperature, and strong magnetic field by using quasiparticle model. We find that considering CFL quark phase can significantly change the equation of state (EOS) as well as the properties of quark matter in quark stars (QSs) at finite temperature or under magnetic field within quasiparticle model. In particular, our results have shown that we can provide the large QSs within CFL quark phase from quasiparticle model by satisfying both the upper limit of ?(1.4)<800 for the low-spin priors of 1.4 solar mass pulsars from GW170817 and the new estimates of the mass-radius region from PSR J0740 + 6620, PSR J0030 + 0451, HESS J1731-347, and 4U 1702-429, which cannot be obtained by considering the QSs with SQM within quasiparticle model.

Automated summary

In this study, the thermodynamical properties of color-flavor locked (CFL) quark matter at zero temperature, finite temperature, and strong magnetic field were investigated using a quasiparticle model. The results show that considering CFL quark phase can lead to the formation of large quark stars under certain constraints.
