Description
The physics and astrophysics of compact stars experiences major advancements in quite diverse research areas opening up new directions for future investigations. Here, we report on recent extensions of compact star physics as the inclusion of color superconducting phases in neutron stars, the implications for proto-neutron star evolution, and the properties of compact stars with self-interacting dark matter. The results will be confronted with modern constraints on the mass and radius of neutron stars from the NICER X-ray mission, and recent claims for extremely compact neutron star configurations.
