Cooling delay for protoquark stars due to neutrino trapping

Abstract

The influence of neutrino trapping (NT) on the early cooling evolution of hot proto quark stars (PQS) with initial temperatures in the range T ~ 40 MeV is studied. Within a simplified model for the neutrino transport it is shown that the time for reaching neutrino opacity temperature of Topac ~ 1 MeV is about 10 sec. This is an order of magnitude larger than without NT and of the same order as the duration long gamma ray bursts.
