Thermal emission from bare quark matter surfaces of hot strange stars
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider the thermal emission of photons and ee pairs from the bare quark surface of a hot strange star. The radiation of high-energy (∼> 20 MeV) equilibrium photons prevails at the surface temperature T S ∼> 5× 10 10 K, while below this temperature, 8 × 10 ∼< TS < 5 × 10 10 K, emission of ee pairs created by the Coulomb barrier at the quark surface dominates. The thermal luminosity of a hot strange star in both photons and ee pairs is estimated. Subject headings: radiation mechanisms: thermal stars: neutron

Bare Quark Matter Surfaces of Strange Stars and ee Emission
We show that the Coulomb barrier at the quark surface of a hot strange star may be a powerful source of ee pairs which are created in an extremely strong electric field of the barrier and flow away from the star. The luminosity in the outflowing pair plasma depends on the surface temperature TS and may be very high, up to ∼ 3× 10 51 ergs s at TS ∼ 10 11 K. The effect of pair creation by the Cou...
متن کاملStructure of pair winds from compact objects with application to emission from bare strange stars
We present the results of numerical simulations of stationary, spherically outflowing, e ± pair winds, with total luminosities in the range 10 34 − 10 42 ergs s −1. In the concrete example described here, the wind injection source is a hot, bare, strange star, predicted to be a powerful source of e ± pairs created by the Coulomb barrier at the quark surface. We find that photons dominate in the...
متن کاملResponse of bare strange stars to energy input onto their surfaces
We study numerically the thermal emission of e+e− pairs from a bare strange star heated by energy input onto its surface; heating starts at some moment, and is steady afterwards. The thermal luminosity in e+e− pairs increases to some constant value. The rise time and the steady thermal luminosity are evaluated. Both normal and colour superconducting states of strange quark matter are considered...
متن کاملA note on solid pulsars
After a brief introduction to the necessary of quark stars in modelling pulsars, I present a qualitative analysis of the solidification of quark matter with low-temperature but high-density. The reason, that a solid neutron star could not be possible, is also given. Subject headings: pulsars: general — stars: neutron — elementary particles What’s the nature of pulsars? This question seems to ha...
متن کاملAre Pulsars Bare Strange Stars?
It is believed that pulsars are neutron stars or strange stars with crusts. However we suggest here that pulsars may be bare strange stars (i.e., strange stars without crust). Due to rapid rotation and strong emission, young strange stars produced in supernova explosions should be bare when they act as radio pulsars. Because of strong magnetic field, two polar-crusts would shield the polar caps...
