Recently it was shown that a phase transition to deconfined quark matter can lead to the formation of a novel kind of third family of compact stars, that is present only in the hot, early stages of their evolution. Such a feature can be related to unusual thermal properties of the equation of state in the phase coexistence region, which manifest themselves as a negative slope of the phase...

In this talk I will present the current state of mass and radius measurements of neutron stars in low mass X-ray binaries obtained during thermonuclear X-ray bursts or in quiescence. Taking into account a number of systematic uncertainties that may be present in
the measurements as well as the results of recent theoretical calculations we obtain strong and quantitative constraints on...
