We study the occurrence of two-flavor color superconducting phases
(2SC = two-flavor color superconductivity and CSL = color spin locking)
in quark matter under compact star constraints within a nonlocal model.
We analyze the sensitivity to changes in the formfactor and the
coupling constants for the quark interaction.
As observables we calculate the configurations and
show that stable hybrid star branches with 2SC quark cores could
explain
observations of small compact objects.
The CSL phase leads to a pairing pattern in which all
quarks are paired and the smallest gaps do not exceed 1 MeV.
Such a phase is a candidate for a successful explanation of the cooling
behaviour of neutron stars with quark matter cores.
