Description
I show that the delayed formation of a hybrid star can account for the unique properties of double-peaked superluminous supernovae (SLSNe). The results indicate that SLSNe can serve as probes of neutron star core physics, offering complementary constraints on the dense-matter equation of state and core magnetization through their light curves and spectra. This framework opens a new avenue for using double-peaked SLSNe to investigate the internal properties of neutron stars.
