We derive scaling laws that connect certain macroscopic observables of strange quark stars with key microscopic properties of self-bound quark matter, such as the energy per baryon at zero pressure and the strength of repulsive…
Strange quark matter with the density of ~ 5\times 10^{14} g cm^{-3} might exist up to the surface of a strange star. This differs qualitatively from the case of a neutron star and opens observational possibilities to distinguish strange…
We investigate the equations of state for pure neutron matter and strange hadronic matter in $\beta$-equilibrium, including $\Lambda$, $\Sigma$ and $\Xi$ hyperons. The masses and radii of pure neutron stars and strange hadronic stars are…
An exact analytical solution describing the interior of a charged strange quark star is found under the assumption of spherical symmetry and the existence of a one-parameter group of conformal motions. The solution describes a unique static…
In this paper, we present a new kind of stellar model using the Nariai IV metric. This model can be used to study the strange/quark stars(which is our present interest, though it can also be applicable to neutron stars). We present a…
We explore the maximum mass limit of strange stars in quadratic curvature gravity with the non-minimal matter coupling. The characteristic parameters of the quadratic curvature coupling and the non-minimal matter coupling imply the…
Strange stars are one of the hypothetical compact stellar objects that can be formed after a supernova explosion. The existence of these objects relies on the absolute stability of strange {\it collapsed} quark matter with respect to…
The minimum value of the radius of strange star covered by the crust of nuclear matter is determined. The results for the maximum possible thickness of the crust (up to the neutron drip) as well as the possibility of thinner crust…
The equation of state of strange matter build of the u,d,s quarks in the framework of the MIT bag model is studied. The scaling relations with bag constant are discussed and applied to the determination of maximum frequency of a particle in…
According to the hypothesis that strange quark matter may be the true ground state of matter at extremely high densities, strange quark stars should be stable and could exist in the Universe. It is possible that pulsars may actually be…
In this work, we study the properties of strange quark matter and reveal the evolution process of strange quark stars employing a self consistent thermodynamic treatment. A comprehensive and reliable thermodynamic basis for the study of the…
Strange stars ought to exist in the universe according to the strange quark matter hypothesis, which states that matter made of roughly equal numbers of up, down, and strange quarks could be the true ground state of baryonic matter rather…
This paper gives an overview of the properties of all possible equilibrium sequences of compact strange-matter stars with nuclear crusts, which range from strange stars to strange dwarfs. In contrast to their non-strange counterparts,…
Motivated by recent suggestions that strange stars can be responsible for glitches and other observational features of pulsar, we review some possible equations of state and their implications for models of neutron, hybrid and strange…
We perform an O(alpha_s^2) perturbative calculation of the equation of state of cold but dense QCD matter with two massless and one massive quark flavor, finding that perturbation theory converges reasonably well for quark chemical…
There are three categories of stars whose masses have been found accurately in recent times: (1) two for which Shapiro delay is used which is possible due to GR light bending as the partner is heavy : PSR J1614-2230 and PSR J1903+0327 (2)…
If there exists the quark star of maximum mass $\sim 0.7\sol$ as suggested by recent Chandra observations, we show that the general relativistic collapse of a neutron star of mass greater than the maximum mass of the neutron star with…
Strangelets (stable lumps of quark matter) can have masses and charges much higher than those of nuclei, but have very low charge-to-mass ratios. This is confirmed in a relativistic Thomas-Fermi model. The high charge allows astrophysical…
Both neutron stars and strange stars are capable of supporting fast rotations observed in pulsars. On the basis of this it has been argued that some of the pulsars could be strange stars. We investigate whether strange stars can sustain…
A class of strange star is analyzed in the present article in hydrostatic equilibrium whose state is defined by a CFL phase equation of state. We compare our result with those obtained from MIT bag equation of state for strange quark matter…
