Abstract

The structure of light quark star is studied within a new two-flavor NJL model. By retaining the contribution from the vector term in the Fierz-transformed Lagrangian, a two-solar-mass pure quark star is achieved. To overcome the disadvantage of three-momentum truncation in the regularisation procedure, we introduce the proper-time regularisation. We also employ the newly proposed definition of vacuum pressure, in which the quasi-Wigner vacuum (corresponding to the quasi-Winger solution of the gap equation) is used as the reference ground state. Free parameter includes only a mixing constant α\alpha which weighs contribution from Fierz-transformed Lagrangian. We constrain α\alpha to be around 0.90.9 by the observed mass of pulsars PSRJ0348+0432PSR J0348+0432 and PSRJ16142230PSR J1614-2230. We find the calculated surface energy density meets the requirement (>2.80×1014> 2.80\times10^{14}g/cm3^3 ). Besides, for a 1.4 solar mass star, the tidal Love number k2k_2 and deformability Λ\Lambda are calculated which satisfies the constrain 200<Λ<800200 < \Lambda < 800.
