Some properties of convection in hybrid stars

Solar and Stellar Astrophysics 2015-12-11 v2 High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena Nuclear Theory

Abstract

It is shown that the unusual thermodynamic properties of matter within the region of two-phase coexistence in hybrid stars result in a change of the standard condition for beginning of convection. In particular, the thermal flux transported by convection may be directed towards the stellar center. We discuss favorable circumstances leading to such an effect of "inverse convection" and its possible influence on the thermal evolution of hybrid stars.
