In this article we study the structure and stability of compact astrophysical objects which are ruled by the dark energy equation of state (EoS). The existence of dark energy is important for explaining the current accelerated expansion of…
What if normal baryonic matter is compressed so tightly that atomic nuclei come into close contact? This question has been asked since 1930s. The fist answer was presented by Lev Landau whose speculation has been developed, and the concept…
We study the effect of a magnetic field on the interacting quark matter and apply to strange star. We considere the low temperature approximation to strange matter. We find that the interacting strange quark matter is more stable compare to…
