We will propose a tentative identification of various emission periods of the burst with specific structural changes of the star. Each of these modifications of the composition of the compact star takes place as a deflagration and not as a detonation, so the energy released in the transition goes mainly into heat and not into a mechanical wave. This is important in order to avoid an excessive baryonic contamination of the region surrounding the compact star. In this way a ultrarelativistic plasma of electron-positron pairs and of photons can be obtained, powering the Gamma Ray Burst.8 pages, 7 figures, Proceedings of "Fifth International Conference on Perspectives in Hadronic Physics", Trieste 2006Astrophysicstext
