Abstract

When the central density of a neutron star reaches the critical value for pion condensation a catastrophic transformation of the star is triggered. In a short time the radius of the superdense core becomes comparable with the stellar radius and performs damped oscillations near the new equilibrium position. Due to the enormous release of energy during this process the envelop may be blown off.
