Another Decade of Strange Quark Matter (ASTRO) Physics

J. E. Horvath, G. Lugones

We present a perspective of strange quark matter research in the 1991-2001 decade focused on astrophysics topics, with particular attention to open problems. We outline the basic c…

On gamma-ray bursts and their biological effects :a case for an extrinsic trigger of the Cambrian explosion ?

J. E. Horvath

We discuss some the effects of local gamma-ray bursts on the earth's atmosphere. A rough calculation of the fraction of ozone destruction by catalytic cycles is given, whi…

Asymmetric Explosions of Type Ia Supernovae

Cristian R. Ghezzi, E. M. de Gouveia Dal Pino, Jorge E. Horvath

The burning speed of a thermonuclear supernova front could be described by the fractal model of combustion. We have examined the effects of magnetic fields on the fractalization of…

The evolution of primordial black hole masses in the radiation- dominated era

P. S. Custodio, J. E. Horvath

We revisit the problem of PBH mass evolution in the radiation-dominated era. We solve the complete differential equation in the semiclassical regime with absorption and evaporation…

Diquark degrees of freedom in the EOS and the compactness of compact stars

J. E. Horvath, G. Lugones, J. A. de Freitas Pacheco

We discuss the role of diquarks in constructing models of compact stars. These approaches are compared to recent claims of highly compact X-ray and isolated sources.

Deformation of Rapidly Rotating Compact Stars

J. C. N. de Araujo, J. A. de Freitas Pacheco, M. Cattani +1

We have developed a numerical code to study the deformation (, where are the moments of inertia) of neutron stars in rapidly rotation…
