Implications of the measurement of pulsars with two solar masses for quark matter in compact stars and HIC. A NJL model case study

We will discuss the results of recently published study (Phys.Rev. D88 (2013) 085001, arXiv:1307.6996) of the NJL model parameter space in context of the mass measurement of heavy pulsars PSR J1614-2230 and PSR J0348- 0432. We will show that hybrid stars with quark cores are still a possibility and that such a measurement can serve as a strong constraint on allowed space of parameters for effective model.
