We study the nucleation of quark matter drops at the center of cold deleptonized neutron stars. This is relevant in the determination of the critical mass $M_{cr}$ of hadronic stars above which it is possible a transition to a quark star…
Chandrasekhar made the startling discovery about nine decades back that the mass of compact object white dwarf has a limiting value, once nuclear fusion reactions stop therein. This is the Chandrasekhar mass-limit, which is $\sim1.4M_\odot$…
A broad sample of computed realistic equations of state of superdense matter with quark phase transition is used to construct a series of models neutron stars with a strange quark core. The integral characteristics of the stellar…
We propose an approximate description of basic parameters (radius, mass and oblateness) of general relativistic compact rotating objects in terms of the parameters of the static configuration and of the angular velocity only. The…
Properties, structure, and thermal evolution of neutron stars are determined by the equation of state of stellar matter. Recent data on isospin-diffusion and isoscaling in heavy-ion collisions at intermediate energies as well as the size of…
The hydrostatic equilibrium and the stability against radial perturbation of charged strange quark stars composed of a charged perfect fluid are studied. For this purpose, it is considered that the perfect fluid follows the MIT bag model…
The existence of quark matter inside the cores of heavy neutron stars is a possibility which can be probed with modern astrophysical observations. We use an (axial)vector meson extended quark-meson model to describe quark matter in the core…
A polytropic quark star model is suggested in order to establish a general framework in which theoretical quark star models could be tested by observations. The key difference between polytropic quark stars and the polytropic model studied…
The quark hadron phase transition in a rotating compact star has been studied. The NLZ-model has been used for the hadronic sector and the MIT Bag model has been used for the quark sector. It has been found that rotating twin star (third…
We study the viscosity driven (Jacobi-like) bar mode instability of rapidly rotating strange stars in general relativity. A triaxial, "bar shaped" compact star could be an efficient source of continuous wave gravitational radiation in the…
By making an intuitive choice for the single-particle density of a system of N self-gravitating particles, without any source for the radiation of energy, we have been able to calculate the binding energy of the system by treating these…
Is the Chandrasekhar mass limit for white dwarfs (WDs) set in stone? Not anymore -- recent observations of over-luminous, peculiar type Ia supernovae can be explained if significantly super-Chandrasekhar WDs exist as their progenitors, thus…
It depends on the state of matter at supra-nuclear density to model pulsar's structure, which is unfortunately not certain due to the difficulties in physics. In cold quark matter at realistic baryon densities of compact stars (with an…
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…
The recent observations of the massive pulsars PSR J1614-2230 and of PSR J0348+0432 with about two solar masses implies strong constraints on the properties of dense matter in the core of compact stars. Effective models of QCD aiming to…
We derive closed formulas for the mass and spin parameters of a Kerr black hole in terms of a minimal quantity of observational data: the red-/blue-shifts of photons emitted by massive particles (stars) moving on geodesics around the black…
We show how the correction to the calculation of the mass in the original relativistic model of a rotating star by Hartle [6], found recently [10], appears in the Newtonian limit, and that the correcting term is indeed present, albeit…
In this work a density dependent quark model is revisited, its thermodynamic consistency checked and the stability window for absolutely stable quark matter obtained. The hypotheses of both pure quark matter with equal quark chemical…
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…
The previous thermodynamic treatment for models with density and/or temperature dependent quark masses is shown to be inconsistent with the requirement of fundamental thermodynamics. We therefore study a fully self-consistent one according…
