Constraining quark-hadron interface tension in the multi-messenger era.
Abstract
We study the interface effects of quark-hadron mixed phase in compact stars. The properties of nuclear matter are obtained based on the relativistic-mean-field model. For the quark phase, we adopt perturbation model with running quark masses and coupling constant. At certain choices of parameter sets, it is found that varying the quark-hadron interface tension will have sizable effects on the radii ($\\Delta R \\approx 600$ m) and tidal deformabilities ($\\Delta \\Lambda/\\Lambda \\approx 50\\%$) of hybrid stars. These provide possibilities for us to constrain the quark-hadron interface tension with future gravitational wave observations as well as the ongoing NICER mission.
