abstract
We propose a model to explain how a Gamma Rays Burst can take place days or years after a supernova explosion. Our model is based on the conversion of a pure hadronic star (neutron star) into a star made at least in part of deconfined quark matter. The conversion process can be delayed if the surface tension at the interface between hadronic and deconfined-quark-matter phases is taken into account. The nucleation time (i.e. the time to form a critical-size drop of quark matter) can be extremely long if the mass of the star is small. Via mass accretion the nucleation time can be dramaticaly reduced and the star is finally converted into the stable configuration. A huge amount of energy, of the order of 10$^{52}$--10$^{53}$ erg, is released during the conversion process and can produce a powerful Gamma Ray Burst. The delay between the supernova explosion generating the metastable neutron star and the new collapse can explain the delay proposed in GRB990705 and in GRB011211.

Is the coexistence of strange quark stars and hadronic stars favored by astrophysical data? A Bayesian analysis
Bayesian analysis of astrophysical and laboratory data favors the two-families scenario of coexisting hadronic and strange quark stars over the one-family scenario.

On the formation of strange quark stars from supernova in compact binaries
In a binary containing a neutron star and an exploding star, hypercritical accretion can push neutron stars past the density threshold for quark deconfinement, forming strange quark stars.

Pair luminosity and cooling of newborn strange star: Color-flavor-locked and two-flavor color superconducting quarks
Newborn strange stars emit an electron-positron pair wind whose luminosity is a near-universal function of surface temperature and stays below 10^46 erg/s after one second; only the large-gap CFL phase makes pairs com...

Constraints on maximum neutron star mass from proto-neutron star evolution
Hyperonic neutron stars are inferred to cap at roughly 2.15 to 2.2 solar masses, while stars above 2.2 solar masses should have purely nucleonic cores.
