Abstract

In this work we investigate the adiabatic radial oscillations of hybrid stars. We use a relativistic-mean-field model equation of state (EOS) to describe the hadron phase and the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model for the quark matter phase. We integrate the equations of relativistic radial oscillations using different parameterizations for the NJL model and investigate the effect of a first order hadron-quark phase transition on the fundamental oscillation mode. The results show that the period τ of the fundamental mode is characterized by a cusp on the maximum mass and is finite for some configurations beyond the maximum mass. We conclude that for hybrid stars with sharp discontinuities the standard stability criterion ∂M/∂εc > 0 is not coincident with the stability criterion based on the finiteness of τ.
