Energy release due to antineutrino untrapping and diquark condensation in hot quark star evolution
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the consequences of antineutrino trapping in hot quark matter for quark star configurations with possible diquark condensation. Due to the conditions of charge neutrality and β-equilibrium the flavor asymmetry increases with the number density of trapped antineutrinos. Above a critical value of the antineutrino chemical potential of 30 MeV diquark condensation is inhibited at low densities and a two-phase structure emerges: a superconducting quark matter core surrounded by a shell of normal quark matter. When the quark star cools down below a temperature T ∼ 1 MeV, the mean free path of antineutrinos becomes larger than the thickness of the normal quark matter shell so that they get untrapped within a sudden process. By comparing the masses of configurations with the same baryon number we estimate that the release of energy due to the antineutrino untrapping transition can be in the range of 10 ÷ 10 erg.

Energy Release Due to Antineutrino Untrapping from Hot Quark Stars
An equation of state for 2-flavor quark matter (QM) with diquark condensation under the conditions for compact stars -β-equilibrium, charge and color neutralityis presented. Trapped antineutrinos prevent the formation of the diquark condensate at moderate densities above a critical value of the antineutrino chemical potential μcν̄e . The following consequences are presented: 1) The star develops...
متن کاملEffects of quark matter and color superconductivity in compact stars
The equation of state for quark matter is derived for a nonlocal, chiral quark model within the mean field approximation. We investigate the effects of a variation of the form factors of the interaction on the phase diagram of quark matter under the condition of β equilibrium and charge neutrality. Special emphasis is on the occurrence of a diquark condensate which signals a phase transition to...

We study the consequences of superconducting quark cores (with color-flavor-locked phase as representative example) for evolution of temperature profiles and the cooling curves in quark-hadron hybrid stars and in hypothetical self-bounded objects having no a hadron shell (quark core neutron stars). The quark gaps are varied from 0 to ∆q = 50 MeV. For hybrid stars we find time scales of 1÷5, 5÷1...
متن کاملDiquark condensation at strong coupling
The possibility of diquark condensation at sufficiently large baryon chemical potential and zero temperature is analyzed in QCD at strong coupling. In agreement with other strong coupling analysis, it is found that a first order phase transition separates a low density phase with chiral symmetry spontaneously broken from a high density phase where chiral symmetry is restored. In none of the pha...
