Title: Long Gamma Ray Bursts from Quark Stars

If strange quark matter (SQM) is the true ground state of hadronic matter, then conversion of neutron stars (NS) into quark stars (QS) could release some 10^{53} erg. We describe a scenario of burning of a NS into a hot, differentially rotating QS. Emission of released non-baryonic energy through the QS surface is discussed. The role of magnetobuoyancy of SQM is mentioned. The outflow of gamma e+ e- lasting for up to ~1000 s could be at the origin of long GRBs. Advantages of hot, differentially rotating QS as an inner engine of long GRBs are reviewed.
