Crustal Failure as a Tool to Probe Hybrid Stars

It is currently unknown if neutron stars (NSs) are composed of nucleons only or are hybrid stars, i.e., in addition to nucleonic crusts and outer cores, they also possess quark cores. Quantum chromodynamics allows for such a possibility, but accurate calculations relevant for compact stars are still...
