Article Synopsis
- Neutron-star cores hold extremely dense matter that might transition from nuclear matter to quark matter, releasing quarks and gluons.
- Researchers use a combination of astrophysical data and theoretical models to assess the likelihood of this transition occurring in neutron stars.
- Using Bayesian inference, they find that for the most massive neutron stars, the equation of state aligns with quark matter characteristics, suggesting a significant chance of phase-transition-like behavior at high densities.
