Description:
Cold and dense nuclear and/or quark matter can be found in the interior of compact stars. It is very challenging to determine the ground state and properties of this matter because of the strong-coupling nature of QCD. I give a pedagogical introduction to microscopic calculations based on phenomenological models, effective theories, and perturbative QCD. I discuss how the results of these calculations can be related to astrophysical observations to potentially rule out or confirm candidate phases of dense matter
Contents :
1 Introduction
2 Mass and radius of the star .
3 Basic models and properties of dense nuclear matter
4 Superconductivity and superfluidity in a compact star
5 Neutrino emissivity and cooling of the star
6 Discussion
Basics of quantum field theory at finite temperature and chemical potential
