Could a black hole pulling on a neutron star temporarily create a quark star?


I believe a quark star is a hypothesized star that is composed of quark matter. If I'm correct then an even large gravitational pull than a neutron star has would be required to break down the individual neutrons forming a star made of quarks. For a neutron star to do this it would require so much more mass that it would make a black hole before coming a quark star.


What if a neutron star was caught in a black hole, could it become a quark star as it was being pulled in?
