| Abstract: | Free quark state may exist in the central region of massive neutron stars. We discuss the damping of the vibration of such neutron stars through the quark weak interaction. The damping time scale may be as short as tens of milliseconds. Damping with such short time constant may possibly be reflected in some γ-ray burst phenomena. An attempt is made to explain the γ burst of 1979 March 5 by this mechanism. |
