| ABSTRACT: |
The densest predicted state of matter is color-superconducting quark matter, in which quarks near the Fermi surface form a condensate of Cooper pairs. This form of matter may well exist in the core of compactstars, and the search for signatures of its presence is an ongoing enterprise. I will review the essentials of color superconductivity, then discuss how it might affect the observable properties of a compact star.
