我们提出了一个统一框架，其中反常X射线脉冲星（AXP）、软伽马射线重复暴（SGR）、超亮超新星（SLSNe - I）、明亮快速蓝光学瞬变源（LFBOT）和快速射电暴（FRB）起源于大质量中子星（NS）核心的夸克解禁闭。解禁闭阶段的自发铁磁性产生约10^18 G的核心场，形成高度磁化的混合星（HS）——“QCD磁星”，其表面场由NS质量而非初始自旋决定。形成HS的夸克新星（QN）喷射出约0.01M_sun富含中子的外层，为千新星提供能量，并使HS在数百年内无外壳。在此阶段，强子 - 夸克界面的磁不稳定性释放上升的磁通绳，为X射线宁静的FRB提供能量；当地壳重新形成时，源演变为X射线明亮的AXP和SGR。两个参数控制该模型：触发解禁闭的临界质量M_dec和区分快速和慢速旋转体的临界周期P_fast。快速旋转体将自旋-down能量注入QN喷射物中，产生LFBOT——一旦超新星喷射物光学薄或通过无前驱超新星的双星吸积，LFBOT可直接观测到；否则LFBOT被超新星喷射物重新处理为SLSN - I。贝叶斯蒙特卡罗群体合成以M_dec约2.1M_sun和P_fast约5.5 ms再现了观测到的AXP和SGR、SLSNe - I和LFBOT的速率，并预测了孤立NS的非合并r过程特征和千新星，无论有无LFBOT。QN喷射物还携带其自身的暗物质和旋转量度，独立于环境，预计在去除银河系、宿主星系和星系间贡献后，会在FRB中表现为过量色散和旋转量度。这些提供了对致密夸克物质中强子 - 夸克相变和铁磁有序的直接观测检验。
英文摘要
We present a unified framework in which anomalous X-ray pulsars (AXPs), soft gamma-ray repeaters (SGRs), superluminous supernovae (SLSNe-I), luminous fast blue optical transients (LFBOTs), and fast radio bursts (FRBs) originate from quark deconfinement in the core of a massive neutron star (NS). Spontaneous ferromagnetism in the deconfined phase generates ~10^18 G core fields, producing a highly magnetized hybrid star (HS) - the "QCD magnetar" - whose surface field is set by NS mass, not birth spin. The Quark-Nova (QN) that forms the HS ejects ~0.01M_sun of neutron-rich outer layers, powering a kilonova and leaving the HS crustless for centuries. During this phase, magnetic instabilities at the hadron-quark interface release rising flux ropes that power X-ray-quiet FRBs; as the crust reforms, the source evolves into an X-ray-loud AXP&SGR. Two parameters govern the model: a critical mass M_dec triggering deconfinement, and a critical period P_fast separating fast and slow rotators. Fast rotators inject spin-down energy into the QN ejecta, producing an LFBOT - directly observable once the SN ejecta is optically thin, or via binary accretion with no preceding SN; otherwise the LFBOT is reprocessed by the SN ejecta into an SLSN-I. A Bayesian Monte Carlo population synthesis reproduces the observed rates of AXPs&SGRs, SLSNe-I, and LFBOTs with M_dec ~2.1M_sun and P_fast ~5.5 ms, and predicts non-merger r-process signatures and kilonovae from isolated NSs, with or without an LFBOT. The QN ejecta also carries its own DM and RM, independent of environment, predicted to appear as excess dispersion and rotation measure in FRBs once Galactic, host, and intergalactic contributions are removed. These provide direct observational tests of the hadron-quark phase transition and ferromagnetic ordering in dense quark matter.
