Abstrakt: When a neutron star is squeezed to huge densities, it can be converted to a strange star. Using the event/year rate of a neutron star–strange star binary system, we show that the operational phase of advanced gravitational wave detectors might show some evidence that such strange stars do exist. Moreover, we argue that such a system could be a plausible progenitor to GRB 051103 and GRB 070201. In the last run of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO), no gravitational wave signal was found for these gamma-ray bursts, and a conclusive explanation for this needs to be found.
