Scientific paper

The explosion of a neutron star whose mass falls below the minimum stable mass on the equilibrium curve is discussed. After the explosion the neutron star provides a natural setting for an intense burst of antineutrinos. The high temperatures attained from expanding suggest that the process leads to a significant emission of high energy thermal radiation. The instability to expansion triggered by neutron beta decays drives the star to disrupt catastrophically on a time scale of between a few milliseconds to a few seconds.
