Phase transition and properties of compact star
  We investigate the phase transition to a deconfined phase and the consequences in the formation of neutron stars. We use the recently proposed effective field theory motivated relativistic mean field theory for hadron and the MIT Bag model and color-flavor locked (CFL) phase for the quark matter in order to get the appropriate equation of state. The properties of star are then calculated. The differences between unpaired and CFL quark matter are discussed.
