Relativistic Model of Detonation Transition from Neutron to Strange Matter
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the conversion of neutron matter into strange matter as a detonation wave. The detonation is assumed to originate from a central region in a spherically symmetric background of neutrons with a varying radial density distribution. We present self-similar solutions for the propagation of detonation in static and collapsing backgrounds of neutron matter. The solutions are obtained in the framework of general relativistic hydrodynamics, and are relevant for the possible transition of neutron into strange stars. Conditions for the formation of either bare or crusted strange stars are discussed.

متن کاملOn the Possibility of Combustion of Neutrons into Strange Quark Matter
It is shown that a conversion of neurons into strange quark matter in neutron stars is possible by means of a combustion process with a well-defined front. Conditions for the realization of a specific combustion mode, whether deflagration, detonation, or fast combustion, are discussed for several forms of the equations of state of neutron and strange matters.
متن کاملAvoided crossings in radial pulsations of neutron and strange stars
Radial pulsations of neutron stars and strange quark stars with nuclear crust are studied. The avoided crossing phenomenon occurring for the radial modes is found and discussed. Neutron star models are constructed using a realistic equation of state of dense matter and strange star models using a phenomenological bag model of quark matter. The eigenfrequencies of the three lowest modes of linea...
متن کاملAccretion-Induced Conversion of High-Velocity Neutron Stars to Strange Stars in Supernovae and Implications for Gamma-Ray Bursts
We present a new model for gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) that are not only associated with supernovae but also have small baryon contamination. In this model, we assume a newborn neutron star to move outward at a kick velocity of ∼ 10 km s in the supernova ejecta. We find that such a neutron star still hypercritically accretes its surrounding supernova matter. Once the stellar mass increases to some ...
متن کاملLiquid-gas phase transition in canonical and micro-canonical ensembles of strange hadronic matter
New calculus of the liquid-gas phase transition is developed for the strange hadronic matter in the relativistic mean- eld model. Against the familiar geometrical construction of phase equilibrium we investigate canonical and micro-canonical ensembles. For the former the pressure and the chemical potentials are determined from de nite values of baryon density, strangeness and temperature. We re...
