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 implications for the radius and the limiting mass of compact stars
Ignazio Bombaci, Irene Parenti, Isaac Vidaña
We study the consequences of the hadron-quark deconfinement phase transition in stellar compact objects when finite size effects between the deconfined quark phase and the hadronic…
