Phase Conversions in Neutron Stars: Implications for Stellar Stability and Gravitational Wave Astrophysics

We review the properties of hybrid stars with a quark matter core and a hadronic mantle, focusing on the role of key micro-physical properties such as the quark/hadron surface and curvature tensions and the conversion speed at the interface between both phases. We summarize the results of works that...
