We calculate mass defects of stellar configurations in the central density range 11<logρc<18. In general, the mass defects are strongly dependent on the model parameters. For a large range of values of d350e06da317a92252e" title="Click to view the MathML source">G2 and V1, we obtain anomalous mass defects with magnitudes around 1053 erg, of the same order of the observed energies of gamma-ray bursts and neutrino emissions in SN1987A, and of the theoretically predicted energies of the quark-novae explosions.
