Abstract
The spin-down power of an isolated neutron star can drive its central density increase and overall structural changes, and trigger a quark-hadron phase transition. A series of observational signatures may be seen as a result of the phase transition, including pulsar spin-down and glitch behaviors, Soft Gamma Repeaters or Gamma-Ray Bursts.
