== Model Description ==

As a NS spins down, the reduction in centrifugal forces cause the density in the core to increase to the point where neutrons may split in to their constituent parts--a process known as quark deconfinement. This phase transition from neutrons to a quark-gluon plasma triggers a massive explosion--a quark nova--in which the parent NS collapses into a quark star. The outer layers of the NS are ejected at relativistic speeds, generating highly unstable rapid neutron-capture (r-process) elements, which undergo a rapid series of β-decays. The electrons emitted from this decay stream into the magnetosphere to generate synchrotron emission akin to an FRB.

== Observational Constraints ==

Gravitational waves are expected from the explosion and from the quark star oscillation modes.
