Strange quark stars (SQS) are a possible type of compact objects, which remain after the end of the life of supermassive stars. After the first explosion of a massive star, if the density of matter in the core of the star increases to values above the nuclear saturation density, the quarks deconfine and a huge value of energy (1047 J) is released, leading to the second explosion that is super...
In this talk I will review and address the long standing problem of determination of the state of matter in the cores of neutron stars. Our understanding of the cold, dense nuclear matter in neutron star interiors has suffered a dramatic revolution during the recent years. On the one hand, laboratory experiments have been able to probe higher and higher densities that comprise the equation of...
