Hybrid Stars with Hyperons and Strange Quark Matter

Abstract: We consider the possibility of having hybrid stars with a phase transition from hadrons into strange matter at the core of a neutron star in b equilibrium. For the hadron phase equation of state (EoS) the quark-meson coupling model is used, while the MIT bag model is used to describe the strange matter phase. The phase transition is treated using the Gibbs construction method and results are calculated and checked against the observational constaints imposed on the EoS. The results are also compared with the hadronic EoS including hyperons, F-QMC700
