Strange quark stars - A review

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

Abstract

A pedagogical overview of strange quark matter and strange stars is presented. After a historical notation of the research and an introduction to quark matter, a major part is devoted to the physics and astrophysics of strange stars, with attention being paid to the possible ways by which neutron stars and strange stars can be distinguished in astrophysics. Recent possible evidence for bare strange stars is also discussed.
