Description

We briefly review the properties of quark matter at large chemical potentials. In particular, we discuss the properties of the color superconducting phases that can be realized in the interior of compact stars and their impact on astrophysical observables.
Moreover, we show how a sufficiently large isospin asymmetry may drive the system in a meson condensed phases.
