Description

Gross properties of hybrid stars consisting of a core of strange matter surrounded by ordinary neutron matter are investigated. Star models based on phenomenological equations of state from nuclear reactions including a phase transition between the hadronic phase and the quark-gluon plasma are discussed. For certain parameters, such equations of state support the existence of hybrid stars: While the nuclear part of the equation of state seems to have a minor influence on the gross properties of hybrid stars, the identification of such objects could be provided with a rather stringent constraint on the vacuum energy density of the quark gluon plasma.
