Caption: Figure 2.
Mass as function of the central number density nc in units of the saturation density ns for soft (left panel), intermediate (middle panel) and stiff (right panel) EoS. Red (blue) curves are for non-rotating (maximally rotating) configurations, vertical dashed lines indicate the matching density 1.6 ns and the density at the deconfinement phase transition nQM. Gray lines are sequences with constant angular momentum. Black solid (dashed) curves mark the onset of the secular (phase transition induced) instability.
