Hybrid protoneutron stars within a static approach

Astrophysics 2017-08-23 v1

Abstract

We study the hadron-quark phase transition in the interior of protoneutron stars. For the hadronic sector, we use a microscopic equation of state involving nucleons and hyperons derived within the finite-temperature Brueckner-Bethe-Goldstone many-body theory, with realistic two-body and three-body forces. For the description of quark matter, we employ the MIT bag model both with a constant and a density-dependent bag parameter. We calculate the structure of protostars within a static approach. In particular we focus on a suitable temperature profile, suggested by dynamical calculations, which plays a fundamental role in determining the value of the minimum gravitational mass. The maximum mass instead depends only upon the equation of state employed.
