Quark deconfinement in neutron stars and gamma-ray bursts

  • 1. Dipartimento di Fisica 'E. Fermi', Universita di Pisa and INFN sezione di Pisa. Largo Bruno Pontecorvo 3, I-56127 Pisa (Italy)

Description

We discuss a model for the energy source of gamma-ray burst which is based on the 'delayed conversion' of a metastable pure hadronic compact star ('neutron star') to a quark star (hybrid star or strange star)
