Point of loss of stability is after the maximum of the
curve (A) of rigidly rotating stars (intersection of the
curve D)
Thermodynamic stability, in presence of transport
properties, corresponds to mass maximum of rigidly
rotating star, t(th) >> t(dyn).

Neutron stars and quark matter
Gordon Baym
Nucl-th/0612021
Recent observations of neutron star masses close to the maximum predicted by nucleonic equations of state begin to challenge our understanding of dense matter in neutron stars, and constrain the
possible presence of quark matter in their deep interiors.

Nuclear Compositions in the Inner Crust of Neutron Stars
Katsuhiko Sato
Department of Physics, Kyoto University, Kyoto 606 (Received February 26, 1979) It is likely that matter in a neutron star crust is compressed by accreting matter and/or by the slowingdown of its rotation after the freezing of thermonuclear equilibrium. The change of nuclear compositions, which takes place during the compression, has been investigated. If the initial species of nuclei is 56Fe, the charge and the mass number of nuclei decrease as a result of repeated electron caputures and successive neutron emissions in the initial stage of compression. The nuclear charge and mass are then doubled by pycnonuclear reactions. The final values of the charge numbers of the nuclei in the inner crust at densities ρ< 1013.7g/cm3 are less than 25, which are about one third of those for the conventional cold catalyzed matter. This result reduces the shear modulus of the crust to one half of the conventional value which makes the magnitude of star quakes weaker.

Nonequilibrium heating may lead to opposite result: additional heating instead of cooling

Stellar oscillations and stellar convection in the presence of an Urca shell
G. S. Bisnovatyi-KoganThe problem of damping of stellar oscillations in presence of a Urca shell is solved analytically in a plane symmetrical approximation. Low-amplitude oscillations are considered. Oscillatory pressure perturbations induce beta reactions of the electron capture and decay in the thin layer around the Urca shell, leading to damping of oscillations. Owing to the non-linear dependence of beta reaction rates on the pulsation amplitude in degeneratematter, even a low-amplitude oscillation damping follows a power law. It is shown that in the presence of the Urca shell the energy losses owing to neutrino emission and the entropy increase resulting from non-equilibrium beta reactions are much smaller than the rate of decrease of the energy of pulsations by the excitation of short-wavelength acoustic waves. The dissipation of the vibrational energy by the last process is the main source of heating of matter.Convective motion in the presence of an Urca shell is considered, and equations generalizing the mean free path model of the convection are derived.

1. Existence of quark (strange) stars is possible only
if they are stable: it depends on the equation of state of quark (strange) matter
2. Until now there are no observational contradictions to the
conventional neutron star model.
Conclusions.
3. Nonequilibrium layer is formed in the neutron star crust, during NS cooling, or during accretion onto it .
It may be important for NS cooling, glitches, and explosions.
4. Nonequilibrium electron capture is important for matter heating in white dwarfs, SN explosions, and in
pulsations of dense stars (Urca shells).
