Low-mass bare strange stars
نویسنده
چکیده
Strange stars with low masses are suggested to exist in reality, the origin of which could be via accretion-induced collapse (AIC) of white dwarfs. Such a strange star is likely bare, and would thus spin very fast, even to a period of < 0.1 ms. Strange stars with low masses may differ from those with solar-masses in various astrophysical appearances. Observations to test this “low-mass” idea are proposed.

1 E 1207 . 4 - 5209 : a low - mass bare strange star ?
Both rotation-and accretion-powered low-mass bare strange stars are studied, the astrophysical appearances of which are especially focused. It is suggested that low-mass bare strange stars, with weaker ferromagnetic fields than that of normal pulsars, could result from accretion-induced collapses (AIC) of white dwarfs. According to its peculiar timing behavior, we propose that the radio-quiet o...
متن کاملWhat can the redshift observed in EXO 0748-676 tell us?
The mass-radius relations for bare and crusted strange stars are calculated with bag model. Comparing these relations with the observed one derived from redshift, we address that the conclusions, that EXO 0748-676 can not be a strange star, is incorrect. Various strange star models can show that EXO 0748-676 could have a mass of (1.3 ∼ 1.7)M and a radius of (8.2 ∼ 10.6) km. It is proposed that ...
متن کاملThe observational appearance of strange stars
Strange stars that are entirely made of strange quark matter (SQM) have been long ago proposed as an alternative to neutron stars (e.g., [1, 2]). The possible existence of strange stars is a direct consequence of the conjecture that SQM composed of roughly equal numbers of up, down, and strange quarks plus a smaller numbers of electrons (to neutralize the electric charge of the quarks) may be t...
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...
متن کاملWhat if pulsars are born as strange stars ?
The possibility and the implications of the idea, that pulsars are born as strange stars, are explored. Strange stars are very likely to have atmospheres with typical mass of ∼ 5 × 10M⊙ but bare polar caps almost throughout their lifetimes, if they are produced during supernova explosions. A direct consequence of the bare polar cap is that the binding energies of both positively and negatively ...
