The phase diagram of bulk quark matter in equilibrium with a finite
hadronic gas is studied. Different from previous investigations, we
treat the quark phase with the quark mass density-and-temperature-dependent
model to take the strong quark interaction into account,
while the hadron phase is treated by hard core repulsion factor. It
is found that the phase diagram in this model is, in several
aspects, different from those in the conventional MIT bag model,
especially at high temperature. The new phase diagram also has
strong effects on the mass-radius relation of compact hybrid stars.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
