Quark-Novae : Observational Signatures and Implications to Compact Binaries |
|
Abstract |
After a brief account of the physics of the Quark-Nova (explosive transition of a neutron star to a quark star due to quark deconfinement), I will present indirect observational evidence of the Quark-Nova in Super-Luminous Supernovae and in the context of the origin of heavy elements (r-process nucleosynthesis). I will then present our modelling of Quark-Novae occurring in compact binaries (with a neutron star and a compact or a normal companion) with particular attention to systems involving a CO white dwarf companion (with implications to Cosmology) and to systems involving a He donor (with implications to He-HMXBs). |
