Abstract
Effects of the phase transitions of superdense matter on supernova explosions are investigated with the aid of an idealized equation of state on the assumptions of adiabatic collapse. It is found that in the case of strong phase transitions explosions become weaker, while in the case of weak phase transitions explosions become stronger. However, the increment of the ejected energy is not so large as suggested by Migdalet al. (1979).
