Open Access Theses & Dissertations

Neutron stars (NSs) are the windows to check the validation of physical laws at extreme conditions, for example, at very high densities and strong magnetic fields and thus to reach the equations of state (EoS) for a better understanding of the structure as well as the composition of the NSs. In our investigations, it is found that the system's (NSs) pressure becomes anisotropic due to the breaking of rotational symmetry in the presence of strong magnetic fields, which even can be significantly sufficient to lead into the deformation of NSs or to destroy itself.

It has long been understood that the ground state of a superdense quark system, a Fermi liquid of weakly interacting quarks, is unstable with respect to the formation of diquark condensates. This nonperturbative phenomenon is essentially equivalent to the Cooper instability of conventional BCS superconductivity. As the quark pairs have nonzero color charge, this kind of superconductivity breaks the SU(3) color gauge symmetry, thus it is called color superconductivity. A peculiar feature of spin-zero color superconductivity is the lack of Meissner effect for a combination of the regular electromagnetic field and one of the gluon fields. This combination behaves as …
