Recent observational data suggests a high compacticity (the quotient M/R) of some "neutron" stars. Motivated by these works we revisit models based on quark-diquark degrees of freedom and address the question of whether that matter is…
It is conjectured that cold quark matter with much high baryon density could be in a solid state, and strange stars with low temperatures should thus be solid stars. The speculation could be close to the truth if no peculiar polarization of…
