Abstract

We study the energy released from phase-transition induced collapse of neutron stars, which results in large amplitude stellar oscillations. To model this process we use a Newtonian hydrodynamic code, with a high resolution shock-capturing scheme. The physical process considered is a sudden phase transition from normal nuclear matter to a mixed phase of quark and nuclear matter. We show that both the temperature and the density at the neutrinosphere oscillate with time. However, they are nearly 180 degree out of phase. Consequently, extremely intense, pulsating neutrino/antineutrino and leptonic pair fluxes will be emitted. During this stage several mass ejecta can be ejected from the stellar surface by the neutrinos and antineutrinos. These ejecta can be further accelerated to relativistic speeds by the electron/positron pairs, created by the neutrino and antineutrino annihilation outside the stellar surface. We suggest that this process may be a possible mechanism for short Gamma-Ray Bursts.
