We obtain the space time of the galactic core in the framework of general relativity by taking the flat rotational curve as input and considering the matter content in the galactic core region as strange quark matter. We also obtain the…
Within a confining quark matter model which considers phenomenologically the quark confinement and asymptotic freedom as well as the chiral symmetry restoration and quark deconfinement at high baryon density, we find that if the up-down…

We propose that supermassive stars may form in quasar accretion disks, and we discuss possible observational consequences. The structure and stability of very massive stars are reviewed. Because of high accretion rates, quasar disks are…
The recent observation of the pulsar PSR J1614-2230 with a mass of 1.97 +/- 0.04 M_sun gives a strong constraint on the quark and nuclear matter equations of state (EoS). We explore the parameter ranges for a parameterized EoS for quark…

The strange quark matter under strong magnetic fields and finite temperatures is studied in the framework of the MIT Bag model. Matter under such conditions is believed to be present in the core of dense astrophysical objects, like Neutron…
In a brief article published in 1931 and expanded in 1935, the Indian astrophysicist Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar shared an important astronomical discovery where he introduced what is now known as Chandrasekhar limit. This limit establishes…
The frequencies and damping times due to gravitational radiation are calculated for self-bound quark star models. The results are compared with those for neutron star models. They are markedly contrasted in less relativistic cases. The…
A recent spectroscopic analysis of central stars of planetary nebulae (CSPNe) claims that the sample includes five CSPNe with masses very close to the Chandrasekhar limit of white dwarfs. This claim should be verified or discarded from the…
Causality alone suffices to set a lower bound on the period of rotation of relativistic stars as a function of their maximum observed mass. That is, by assuming a one-parameter equation of state (EOS) that satisfies v_sound < c and that…
We determine the Galactic production rate of strangelets as a canonical input to calculations of the measurable cosmic ray flux of strangelets by performing simulations of strange star mergers and combining the results with recent estimates…
Densities in compact stars may be such that quarks are no longer confined in hadrons, but instead behave as weakly interacting particles. In this regime perturbative calculations are possible. Yet, due to high pressures and an attractive…
Rapidly rotating giant stars are relatively rare and may represent important stages of stellar evolution, resulting from stellar coalescence of close binary systems or accretion of sub-stellar companions by their hosting stars. In the…
Static and uniformly rotating, cold and hot white dwarfs are investigated both in Newtonian gravity and general theory of relativity, employing the well-known Chandrasekhar equation of state. The mass-radius, mass-central density,…
We investigated the radial and non-radial fundamental ($f$) mode oscillations of self-bound (quark) stars obtained after employing the Vector MIT (vMIT) bag model. Within this model, we computed the equation of state for strange quark…
Recent observations of neutron star masses close to the maximum predicted by nucleonic equations of state begin to challenge our understanding of dense matter in neutron stars, and constrain the possible presence of quark matter in their…
Generic extensions of the standard model predict the existence of ultralight bosonic degrees of freedom. Several ongoing experiments are aimed at detecting these particles or constraining their mass range. Here we show that massive vector…
