Remnants of neutron-star mergers are essentially massive, hot, differentially rotating neutron
stars, which are initially strongly oscillating. As such they represent a unique probe for high …

Some historical remarks concerning the strange stars are briefly discussed. The recent
developments in physics and dynamical behavior of strange stars are reviewed. Especially …

We here discuss a new model of γ-ray bursts (GRBs) based on differentially rotating strange
stars. Strange stars in this model and differentially rotating neutron stars in the Kluźniak …

We study the consequences of the hadron-quark deconfinement phase transition in stellar
compact objects when finite-size effects between the deconfined quark phase and the …

We analyze and quantify how the color-flavor locked (CFL) phase in dense matter enhances
the parameter space for absolute stability (strange matter). We find that the “CFL strange …

We present three-dimensional numerical simulations of turbulent combustion converting a
neutron star into a quark star. Hadronic matter, described by a microphysical finite …

The recent measurement of two solar mass pulsars has initiated an intense discussion on its
impact on our understanding of the high-density matter in the cores of neutron stars. A task …

There are strong indications that the process of conversion of a neutron star into a strange
quark star proceeds as a strong deflagration implying that in a few milliseconds almost the …

We study the hydrodynamical transition from a hadronic star into a quark or a hybrid star. We
discuss the possible mode of burning, using a fully relativistic formalism and realistic …

We present results from a numerical solution to the burning of neutron matter inside a cold
neutron star into stable u, d, s quark matter. Our method solves hydrodynamical flow …
