Description

Using a recent equation of state (Benic et al., 2015, A&A 577, A40) I will discuss the stability of rotating neutron stars with strong phase transitions (so-called twin family of neutron stars). The existence of an instability region separating the twin families - a direct outcome of the strong phase transition - creates several astrophysical implications that are interesting from the point of view of observational and microphysical aspects of the equation of state.
