A compact star rotating at 1122 Hz and the r-mode instability
Alessandro Drago, Giuseppe Pagliara, Irene Parenti
We show that r-mode instabilities severely constraint the composition of a compact star rotating at a submillisecond period. In particular, the only viable astrophysical scenario f…
Quark Deconfinement inside Compact Stars and Gamma Ray Bursts Inner Engine
Alessandro Drago, Giuseppe Pagliara, Irene Parenti
The temporal structure of Gamma Ray Bursts can be interpreted assuming as a inner engine a neutron star which undergoes a progressive compactification via production of strangeness…
Burning of an hadronic star into a quark or a hybrid star
Alessandro Drago, Andrea Lavagno, Irene Parenti
We study the hydrodynamical transition from an hadronic star into a quark or a hybrid star. We discuss the possible mode of burning, using a fully relativistic formalism and realis…
Quark deconfinement and neutrino trapping in compact stars
I. Vidana, I. Bombaci, I. Parenti
We study the role played by neutrino trapping on the hadron star (HS) to quark star (QS) conversion mechanism proposed recently by Berezhiani and collaborators. We find that the nu…
