Thermal effects on the baryon–quark phase transition in hot hybrid neutron stars: a statistical mean-field baryonic model with the standard NJL model for deconfined quarks

چکیده مقاله

We investigate the thermal effects on the baryon–quark phase transition (PT), utilizing the Maxwell construction (MC) in an isentropic analysis. In order to model the structure and composition of hot hybrid neutron stars (HHNSs) with β-equilibrated dense matter in the presence (absence) of trapped neutrinos, we use a statistical model which agrees with the Thomas–Fermi (TF) approximation for the baryonic phase and the Nambu–Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model for the deconfined quark phase. Our results show that neutrino trapping can provide a considerable softening of the equation of state EOS in the baryon–quark coexistence phase, compared with the situation governed by untrapped (free-streaming) neutrinos. Having a weak dependence on the quark vector coupling constant in the pure quark phase, the temperature meets its maximum value at the threshold baryonic density for the occurrence of the baryon–quark PT. Based on the assumption of the conserved baryonic mass, all of our HHEOS lead to the stable mass structures for a HHNS.
