The EOS at various cascade potentials and different values of for quark mass . The shaded region shows the empirical EOS obtained by Steiner et al. from a heterogeneous set of seven neutron stars.
Corrected star mass as a function of radius for various values of the coupling parameter and cascade potential at quark masses (a) and (b) . Also shown is the mass observed for the pulsar PSR J0348+0432.
