What is the ground state (and its properties) of dense (quark) matter? ? What is the matter composition of a compact star? In order to fulfill their primary goal - to remain both concise and accessible to the beginning graduate student or other newcomers to the field - the only prerequisites are a working knowledge of statistical mechanics and thermodynamics as well as a first course in quantum field theory. More advanced material will be introduced as the text progresses and an appendix covers basic elements of thermal quantum field theory at finite chemical potential. Instead of developing all relevant formal tools (which is not even fully possible in the regime of QCD considered here), calculations are physically motivated, making the reader familiar with the theories and technicalities by ?learning by doing?. In this way these lectures will guide and prepare the reader towards further investigations and own theoretical research in this exciting field at the interface of nuclear, particle and astrophysics. 410 0$aLecture Notes in Physics,$x0075-8450 ;$v811 606 $aAstrophysics 606 $aSpace sciences 606 $aNuclear physics 606 $aHeavy ions 606 $aElementary particles (Physics) 606 $aQuantum field theory 606 $aAstrophysics and Astroparticles$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22022 606 $aSpace Sciences (including Extraterrestrial Physics, Space Exploration and Astronautics)$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22030 606 $aNuclear Physics, Heavy Ions, Hadrons$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P23010 606 $aElementary Particles, Quantum Field Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P23029 615 0$aAstrophysics. 615 0$aSpace sciences. 615 0$aNuclear physics. 615 0$aHeavy ions. 615 0$aElementary particles (Physics). 615 0$aQuantum field theory. 615 14$aAstrophysics and Astroparticles. 615 24$aSpace Sciences (including Extraterrestrial Physics, Space Exploration and Astronautics). 615 24$aNuclear Physics, Heavy Ions, Hadrons. 615 24$aElementary Particles, Quantum Field Theory. 676 $a523.8 700 $aSchmitt$b Andreas$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0515327 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996466708503316 996 $aDense Matter in Compact Stars$9855611 997 $aUNISA
