Quark-Novae occurring in massive binaries : A universal energy source in superluminous Supernovae with double-peaked light curves
Rachid Ouyed, Denis Leahy, Nico Koning
A Quark-Nova (QN, the sudden transition from a neutron star into a quark star) which occurs in the second common envelope (CE) phase of a massive binary (Ouyed et al., 2015a&b), gi…
Quark Nova Model for Fast Radio Bursts
Zachary Shand, Amir Ouyed, Nico Koning +1
FRBs are puzzling, millisecond, energetic radio transients with no discernible source; observations show no counterparts in other frequency bands. The birth of a quark star from a…
Quark-Novae in massive binaries : a model for double-humped, hydrogen-poor, superluminous Supernovae
Rachid Ouyed, Denis Leahy, Nico Koning
LSQ14bdq and SN 2006oz are super-luminous, hydrogen-poor, SNe with double-humped light curves. We show that a Quark-Nova (QN; explosive transition of the neutron star to a quark st…
The Burn-UD code for the numerical simulations of the Hadronic-to-Quark-Matter phase transition
Amir Ouyed, Luis Welbanks, Nico Koning +1
Burn-UD is a hydrodynamic combustion code used to model the phase transition of hadronic to quark matter with particular application to the interior of neutron stars. Burn-UD model…
The superluminous SN DES13S2cmm as a signature of a Quark-Nova in a He-HMXB system
Rachid Ouyed, Denis Leahy, Nico Koning
We show that by appealing to a Quark-Nova (the explosive transition of a neutron star to a quark star) occurring in an He-HMXB system we can account for the lightcurve of the first…
