7/3 Some stars were found in regions above the main sequence
... Density of Stars — divide the mass of star by its volume (from the size) to get its density. We find: Main Sequence Stars all have a density about that of water (1 g/cm 3). Giant Stars — about the same mass as main sequence stars but much larger — small densities — range form a hundredth to a tenth ...

Abstract—We consider an equation of state that leads to a first-order phase transition from the nucleon state to the quark state with a transition parameter λ > 3/2 (λ = ρQ /(ρN + P0 /c2 )) in superdense nuclear matter. Our calculations of integrated parameters for superdense stars using this equatio ...
