Abstract

We compare the Gibbs and Maxwell constructions for the hadron-quark phase transition in neutron and protoneutron stars, including interacting hyperons in the confined phase. We find that the hyperon populations are suppressed, and that neutrino trapping shifts the onset of the phase transition. The effects on the (proto)neutron star maximum mass are explored.
