Exotic phases in compact stars
Abstract
We discuss how the co-existence of hyperons, antikaon condensate and colour superconducting quark matter in neutron star interior influences the gross properties of compact stars such as the equation of state and mass-radius relationship. We compare our results with the recent observations. We also discuss about superdense stars in the third family branch which may contain a pure colour-flavour-locked (CFL) core.
