A model for giant flares in soft gamma repeaters
G. Lugones, E. M. de Gouveia Dal Pino, J. E. Horvath
We argue that giant flares in SGRs can be associated to the core conversion of an isolated neutron star having a subcritical magnetic field G and a fallback disk aro…
Effects of color superconductivity on the nucleation of quark matter in neutron stars
I. Bombaci, G. Lugones, I. Vidana
We study the nucleation of quark matter drops at the center of cold deleptonized neutron stars. This is relevant in the determination of the critical mass of hadronic star…
Magnetic Fields in High-Density Stellar Matter
German Lugones
I briefly review some aspects of the effect of magnetic fields in the high density regime relevant to neutron stars, focusing mainly on compact star structure and composition, supe…
Deconfinement and color superconductivity in cold neutron stars
G. Lugones, I. Bombaci
We study the deconfinement transition of hadronic matter into quark matter in neutron star conditions in the light of color superconductivity. Deconfinement is considered to be a f…
Pulsar dynamics: magnetic dipole model revisited
G. Lugones, I. Bombaci
Manuscript withdrawn by the authors.
Self-bound CFL stars in binary systems : are they "hidden" among the black hole candidates?
J. E. Horvath, G. Lugones
The identification of black holes is one of the most important tasks of modern astrophysics. Candidates have been selected among binary stars based on a high mass function, and ser…
