Density-dependent quark mass model revisited: thermodynamic consistency, stability windows and stellar properties

Abstract In this work a density-dependent quark model is revisited, its thermodynamic consistency checked and the stability window for absolutely stable matter obtained. The hypotheses of both pure with equal chemical potentials stellar subject to charge neutrality are investigated. parameters that appear in mass satisfy Bodmer–Witten conjecture then used compute masses radii strange stars. We show obtained values compatible recently observed massive
