We investigate the stability of stars with a density discontinuity between a high-density core and a very low density mantle. Previous work on "strange dwarfs" suggested that such a discontinuity could stabilize stars that would have been…

Linear perturbation theory is appropriate to describe small oscillations of stars, while a mild non-linearity is still tractable perturbatively but requires to consider mode coupling. It is natural to start to look at this problem by…
