Title: Numerical investigations of the hadronic-to-quark-matter combustion: some implications to explosive Astrophysics
Abstract: Quark de-confinement (e.g. via spin-down or nucleation) in the cores of neutron stars allows for a hadronic-to-quark-matter burning front with unique properties (e.g. non-premixed and diffusion-driven conversion, development of de-leptonisation instability, etc.). In the first part of this talk I will discuss our investigations of the micro-physics and macro-physics of the combustion process and discuss regimes where explosive solutions (i.e. the Quark-Nova), via a deflagration-detonation transition or quark-core collapse, are possible. In the second part, I will describe some astrophysical implications and in particular how the interaction of the Quark-Nova ejecta (the neutron-rich outermost crust of the exploding neutron star) with its surroundings can yield events reminiscent of super luminous SNe and gamma-ray bursts.
