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…
Quiescent times in Gamma-Ray-Bursts: hints of a dormant inner engine
Alessandro Drago, Giuseppe Pagliara
We perform a statistical analysis of the temporal structure of long Gamma-Ray-Bursts (GRBs). First we consider a sample of bursts in which a long quiescent time is present. Compari…
Gamma Ray Bursts and the transition to Quark Matter in Compact Stars
Alessandro Drago, Andrea Lavagno, Giuseppe Pagliara
We discuss a model for long Gamma-Ray-Bursts in which the central engine is associated with the conversion process of a metastable hadronic star into a star containing quark matter…
