Popis: The color–flavor locked (CFL) phase is believed to be the fundamental state of strange quark matter (SQM) at high densities. The CFL phase is a color superconductor composed of pairs of u, d and s quarks, with no electrons, forming a Bose condensate. In this work, we analyze a possible phase transition of hadronic matter made of nucleons, Δ–resonances, hyperons and leptons, to CFL superconducting quark matter. An equation of state taking into account this phase transition is employed to determine the characteristics of a hybrid star. The role of the color superconducting gap on the hybrid stars properties is also discussed.
