Conclusion and Discussion

Model of hybrid starsMaxwell construction (a sharp tran

sition takes place between the two charge-neutral hadron and quark phase)(Baym & Chin ,1976,Phys.Lett.B, 62,241 )

Gibbs construction (the transition can occur through the formation of a mixed phase of hadron matter and quark matter, total charge neutrality being achieved by a positively charged amount of hadron matter and a negatively charged amount of quark matter)

Energy release of deconfinement

Non-linear dissipation (Professor Zheng xiaoping) The deconfine phase transition from hadron matter to quark matt

er may continuously occurs during spin-down of NSs.

The density of any given fluid element increases, changing its equilibrium state. The relaxation toward the new equilibrium appears accordingly if the transition has nonlinear phase structure by Gibbs construction. So the two phases are not quite equilibrium and binding energy is stored that can be released by phase transition.

Thermal evolution of hybrid stars

•A quite clear magnetic-field dependence

•Deconfinement heating can produce a characteristic rise of surface temperature

•Deconfinement heating dominate the behavior of thermal evolution

•Low magnetic field (B=10^9G) produces a sharp jump in surface temperature

Conclusion

• Explore the signal of quark matter appearing through theoretical simulation of thermal evolution curves of hybrid stars with deconfinement heating.

• Rise of surface temperature of stars is derived from the deconfinement heating.

• Rise of surface temperature accompany quark matter appearing

• It may be a evidence for existence of quark matter, if a heating period is observed for a very old pulsar.

Discussion

• The mass range of deconfined signal emerging can be changed with varying of some parameters(bag constant B, coupling constant g).

• The deconfinement heating rate is different for various stages of stars. This may lead to special effect of short timescale behaviors due to local heat deposit and enhanced neutrino emission. The details of evolution in years is worth discussion in future researches.
