Phase-transition-induced Collapse of Proto-compact Stars and Its Implication for Supernova Explosions by Xu-Run Huang, Shuai Zha, Ming-chung Chu, Evan P. O’Connor, Lie-Wen Chen

“…We systematically explore the outcomes of the PT-induced collapse of mock proto-compact stars (PCSs) with a constant entropy and lepton fraction, with spherically symmetric general relativistic hydrodynamic simulations and a controlled series of hybrid equations of state. Our results reveal the qualitative dependence of successful and failed explosions on the PT and quark matter characteristics. …”
