Strange Quark stars: Observations & Speculations
Two kinds of difficulties have challenged the physics community for many years: (1) knowing nature’s building blocks (particle physics) and (2) understanding interacting many-body systems (many-body physics). Both of them exist in the research of quark matter and compact stars. This paper addresses the possibility that quark clustering, rather than a color super-conducting state, could occur in...
متن کاملSolid Bare Strange Quark Stars
The reason, we need three terms of ‘strange’, ‘bare’, and ‘solid’ before quark stars, is presented concisely though some fundamental issues are not certain. Observations favoring these stars are introduced. 1. Hadronic stability: why strange? Strange (quark) stars are quark stars with strangeness. What’s strangeness? Some peculiar cosmic ray events were discovered in 1947, with a strange nature...
متن کاملStrange quark stars — A review
A pedagogical overview of strange quark matter and strange stars is presented. After a historical notation of the research and an introduction to quark matter, a major part is devoted to the physics and astrophysics of strange stars, with attention being paid to the possible ways by which neutron stars and strange stars can be distinguished in astrophysics. Recent possible evidence for bare str...
متن کاملStrange Quark Matter and Compact Stars
Astrophysicists distinguish between three different kinds of compact stars. These are white dwarfs, neutron stars, and black holes. The former contain matter in one of the densest forms found in the Universe which, together with the unprecedented progress in observational astronomy, makes such stars superb astrophysical laboratories for a broad range of most striking physical phenomena. These r...
متن کاملMetastable strange matter and compact quark stars
Strange quark matter in beta equilibrium at high densities is studied in a quark confinement model. Two equations of state are dynamically generated for the same set of model parameters used to describe the nucleon: one corresponds to a chiral restored phase with almost massless quarks and the other to a chiral broken phase. The chiral symmetric phase saturates at around five times the nuclear ...
