Abstract

This paper discusses several most intruigung astrophysical implications connected with the possible absolute stability of strange quark matter.This is followed by a discussion of two astrophysical signals that may point at the existence of quark matter in both isolated neutron stars as well as in neutron stars in low-mass x-ray binaries (LMXBs).
