Protoquark stars: stability windows and magnetic field effects

Recently the measurement of (at least) two very massive neutron stars plus the theoretical predictions related to the effects of magnetic fields on the QCD phase diagram shed a new light on the possibility that magnetars can be constituted of deconfined quark matter only. In this work we revisit th...
