Abstract
This work investigates the evolution of proto-neutron stars (PNSs) from birth as neutrino-rich objects to maturity as cold-catalyzed neutrino-poor objects with nucleonic and non-nucleonic degrees of freedom. The focus is on the star's core where the nucleons, hyperons, and the Δ-isobars are expected to dissolve into a “soup” of deconfined quarks, at higher baryon densities, to establish a possible hadron-quark phase transition. We separately calculate the nuclear equations of state (EoS) for the hadronic matter (composed of all the baryon octet and Δ-isobars) and the strange quark matter (SQM) under the same thermodynamic conditions characteristic of PNS and proto-strange star (PSS) evolution and construct the hybrid EoS using Maxwell's construction. The study allows us to determine the hadron-quark phase transitions along the evolution lines of the star. We observed a phase transition from hadronic matter to quark matter (QM) phase when the neutrinos have completely escaped from the star's core. The EoSs utilized are constrained to meet the 2 M⊙ threshold in accordance with the observational data.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics (JCAP) encompasses theoretical, observational and experimental areas as well as computation and simulation. The journal covers the latest developments in the theory of all fundamental interactions and their cosmological implications (e.g. M-theory and cosmology, brane cosmology). JCAP''s coverage also includes topics such as formation, dynamics and clustering of galaxies, pre-galactic star formation, x-ray astronomy, radio astronomy, gravitational lensing, active galactic nuclei, intergalactic and interstellar matter.
