Instability of Quark Matter Core in a Compact Newborn Neutron Star With Moderately Strong Magnetic Field

Abstract

It is explicitly shown that if phase transition occurs at the core of a newborn neutron star with moderately strong magnetic field strength, which populates only the electron's Landau levels, then in the $\beta$-equilibrium condition, the quark core is energetically much more unstable than the neutron matter of identical physical condition.
