David Blaschke -- Color superconductivity and compact star phenomenology

David discussed predictions of the properties of compact stars in the presence of a color-flavor-locked phase. Of the most interest to me is the fact that he has been able to construct a model in which the cooling still takes place over a million year timescale, but that the surface temperature becomes mass dependent (on timescales longer than ~100 years). If so, this would remove one of the strong observational distinctions with non-quark matter.
