Abstract
Shock waves in cold nuclear matter, e.g., those induced by a collision of t wo neutron stars, can generate a large number of gamma photons via parametr ic resonance. We study the resonant production of gamma rays inside a shock ed neutron star and discuss the possible astrophysical consequences of this phenomenon. [s0556-2821(99)02912-4].
