The Chandrasekhar limit for strange stars described by a linear equation of state (describing quark matter with density-dependent quark masses) is evaluated. The maximum mass and radius of the star depend on the fundamental constants and on…
The possibility of discovering twin stars, two neutron stars (NSs) with the same mass but different radii, is usually studied in forward modelings by using a restricted number of NS matter equation of state (EOS) encapsulating a first-order…

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…
Kilohertz QPOs can be used as a probe of the inner regions of accretion disks in compact stars and hence also of the properties of the central object. Most models of kHz QPOs involve epicyclic frequencies to explain their origin. We compute…
The effect of the hyperon softening of the equation of state (EOS) of dense matter on the spin evolution of isolated neutron stars is studied for a broad set of hyperonic EOSs. We use a multidomain 2-D code based on a spectral method, and…
Strange quark stars (SQSs), namely compact stars entirely composed of deconfined quark matter, are characterized by similar masses and compactness to neutron stars (NSs) and have been theoretically proposed to exist in the Universe since…
The non-radial oscillations of the neutron stars (NSs) have been suggested as a useful tool to probe the composition of neutron star matter (NSM). With this scope in mind, we consider a large number of equations of states (EOSs) that are…
The observations of PSR J0952-0607 and the second object in GW190814 event indicate the possible existence of supermassive neutron stars. In this work, by using the Constant-Sound-Speed (CSS) parametrization to describe the equation of…

Neutron stars (NSs) in low-mass X-ray binaries rotate at frequencies high enough to significantly deviate from sphericity ($\nu_* \sim$ 200--600 Hz). We investigate the effects of rapid rotation on the observational appearance of a NS. We…
We perform three-dimensional relativistic hydrodynamical simulations of the coalescence of strange stars (SSs) and explore the possibility to decide on the strange matter hypothesis by means of gravitational-wave (GW) measurements.…
