AT 2016blu: Accretion-Powered Outbursts in a Luminous Blue Variable and Compact Object Binary
Mojgan Aghakhanloo, Núria Torres-Albà, Nathan Smith +33
We present the first X-ray detection of the supernova (SN) impostor AT 2016blu in NGC 4559. AT 2016blu exhibited 27 detected quasiperiodic (~113 day) outbursts between 2012 and Jun…
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…
Transition to Quark Matter and long Gamma Ray Bursts
Alessandro Drago, Giuseppe Pagliara, Irene Parenti
The energy released by the inner engine of GRBs can originate from structural readjustments inside a compact star. In particular, the formation of deconfined quark matter can liber…
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…
