Core-Collapse Supernovae Hydrogen present when they explode!
Mass-shedding Stars Black Holes Neutron Stars White Dwarfs May or may not have hydrogen when they explode!

The Quark-Nova
Compact Stars in the QCD Phase Diagram Hybrid stars Think of a Quark Star as a nucleon with ~1057 quarks. The quarks are still confined!
u and d convert to s in order to reduce Pauli repulsion by increasing flavor degeneracy ? TG
Upon reaching a critical density (~5 times nuclear density), the core of the neutron star converts rapidly into (u,d,s) quark matter
Hybrid Stars (HS) Neutron Stars with Quark Cores Lead to Black Holes Heavy NSs (HS candidates) Lead to Neutron Stars
Neutron star to Quark star Transition The QUARK-NOVA ! The quark matter core becomes unstable and shrinks faster than the envelope response time!
Core collapse Neutrino & photon emission

QN key ingredients Energy Reservoir (more than 1053 erg) Photon Fireball (up to 1052 ergs in K) Ultra-relativistic iron-rich ejectum Heavy-element-rich (A>130) ejecta + Massive Progenitor
Quark Nova and Super-luminous Supernovae "This was a truly monstrous explosion, a hundred times more energetic than a typical supernova,"
1051 ergs in Radiation ! 100 times a normal Supernova !
3 Possible Mechanisms • (1) interaction of the supernova blast wave with circumstellar material (CSM) • (2) energy from radioactive decay of 56Ni • (3) Oscillating PISN Need too much surrounding Ejecta ! Need too much Nicke ! Very massive progenitor ! Artificial energy input!
Standard picture stretched to the extreme ! Ekinetic = 6.4x1052 erg; Mejecta = 53Msun; M(Ni+CO) = 15Msun
Neutron Star What does the Quark-Nova has to offer in this context? Dual Explosion! Quark Star Quark-Nova Ejecta
Application SN2006gy Mejec = 40Msun Rstar = 10 Rsun 2000 < VSN (km/s) < 4800 tdelay = 15 days
Find the first bump (the SN) before the second bump (the QN) A double-hump! Light-Curves of SN2005gj and SN2005ap Keep same parameters as for SN2006gy except SN2005gj tdelay = 10 days SN2005ap tdelay = 40 days

As the photosphere receeds deeper, one would start seeing heavy elements processed during the QN. These lines should look narrow since the QN ejecta is slowed down by interaction with the preceeding SN ejecta … The Photosphere
OCCURRENCE RATE Lead to Black Holes Heavy NSs (QS candidates) Lead to Neutron Stars • Superluminous supernova are rare events: about 1 out of 1000 supernovae • Dual Shock quark novae are also estimated to occur for about 1 out of 1000 supernovae Follow-up talk by Jan Staff: implications to GRBs ……

reionization The Source(s) of reionizatio? Fan et al. 2006 2 Key Constraints: WMAP: zstart= 20 (tau_e~0.11) WMAP: zend ~ 6 From Avi Loeb
Loeb, Ostriker, Chiu, Fan, Venkatessan, Tegmark, Gnedini, Becker, Carilli, Ferrara, Gallerani, Jiang, Richards, Choudhury, Strauss, Xu, Walter, White ect… Pop III stars unlikely !
6 < z < 8 If GRBs are indeed quark-novae (see Staff’s talk) then high-z GRBs should cluster around z~6-8
FIN … or is it may be just … the beginning
Takeaway message: Photon-driven (instead of traditional neutrino-driven) explosions Dual-explosions Dual-explosion
