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 draw the phase diagrams indicative of the possible fates of supernova explosions driven by hadron−quark PTs, where the control parameters are the onset density, the energy gap of the PT, and the quark matter speed of sound. Our findings can guide further self-consistent investigations on PT-driven core-collapse supernovae and help identify hadron−quark PT-induced PCS collapse from future observations.…”
