A note on solid pulsars

Astrophysics 2007-05-23 v1 High Energy Physics - Phenomenology

Abstract

After a brief introduction to the necessary of quark stars in modelling pulsars, I present a qualitative analysis of the solidification of quark matter with low-temperature but high-density. The reason, that a solid neutron star could not be possible, is also given.
