A three stage model for the inner engine of Gamma Ray Burst: Prompt emission and early afterglow
Jan Staff, Rachid Ouyed, Manjari Bagchi
We propose a new model within the ``Quark-nova'' scenario to interpret the recent observations of early afterglows of long Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRB) with the Swift satellite. This is…
Chromo-thermal oscillations and collapse of strange stars to black holes : Astrophysical Implications
Manjari Bagchi, Rachid Ouyed, Jan Staff +3
The effects of temperature on strange stars are studied and it is found that the maximum mass of the star decreases with the increase of temperature since at high temperatures the…
Quark deconfinement in neutron star cores: The effects of spin-down
Jan Staff, Rachid Ouyed, Prashanth Jaikumar
We study the role of spin-down in driving quark deconfinement in the high density core of isolated neutron stars. Assuming spin-down to be solely due to magnetic braking, we obtain…
