Dynamic stability of compact stars

arXiv:astro-ph/0401371

Abstract

After some historical remarks we discuss different criteria of dynamical stability of stars, and properties of the critical states where dynamical stability is lost, leading to collapse with formation of the neutron star or a black hole. At the end some observational and theoretical problems related to quark stars are discussed.
