On the mass of moderately rotating strange stars in the MIT bag model and LMXBs

Motivated by recent suggestions that strange stars can be responsible for glitches and other observational features of pulsar, we review some possible equations of state and their implications for models of neutron, hybrid and strange stars. We consider the MIT bag model and also strange matter in the color-flavored-locked phase. The central energy densities for strange stars are higher than the central densities of ordinary neutron stars. Strange stars are bound by the stron...

A quark model with running coupling and running strange quark mass, which is thermodynamically self-consistent at both high and lower densities, is presented and applied to study properties of strange quark matter and structure of compact stars. An additional term to the thermodynamic potential density is determined by meeting the fundamental differential equation of thermodynamics. It plays an important role in comparatively lower density and ignorable at extremely high dens...

The spin-up of a neutron star crucially depends on the maximum orbital frequency around it, as do a host of other high energy accretion phenomena in low mass X-ray binaries, including quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) in the X-ray flux. We compare the maximum orbital frequencies for MIT-bag quark stars and for neutron stars modeled with the FPS equation of state. The results are based on relativistic calculations of constant baryon sequences of uniformly rotating strange sta...

We have considered a hot strange star matter, just after the collapse of a supernova, as a composition of strange, up and down quarks to calculate the bulk properties of this system at finite temperature with the density dependent bag constant. To parameterize the density dependent bag constant, we use our results for the lowest order constrained variational (LOCV) calculations of asymmetric nuclear matter. Our calculations for the structure properties of the strange star at ...

The properties of electrically charged strange quark stars predicted by an interacting quark matter equation of state (EoS) based on cold and dense perturbative quantum chromodynamics (pQCD) are investigated. The stability of strange stars is analyzed considering different models for the electric charge distribution inside the star as well as for distinct values for the total electric charge. A comparison with the predictions derived using the MIT bag model is also presented....

This study investigates the structural properties of strange quark stars (SQS) using a Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) perturbative model combined with the latest Particle Data Group dataset. Given the energy scale present in compact stars, QCD perturbation theory alone may not fully explain their structure. To account for non-perturbative contributions, we incorporate a density-dependent effective bag parameter, $B$, and derive the equation of state (EOS) for strange quark matt...

In this work, we have calculated some properties of the spin polarized strange quark matter (SQM) in a strong magnetic field at zero temperature using the MIT bag model. We have shown that the equation of state of spin polarized SQM is stiffer than that of the unpolarized case. We have also computed the structure properties of the spin polarized strange quark star (SQS) and have found that the presence of magnetic field leads to a more stable SQS compared to the unpolarized S...

The limiting mass is a significant characteristic for compact exotic stars. In the case of quark stars, the limiting mass can be expressed in terms of fundamental constants and the Bag constant. In the present work, using bag model description, the maximum mass of a rotating quark star is found to depend on the rotational frequency apart from other fundamental parameters. The analytical results obtained agree with the results of several relevant numerical estimates as well as...

It has been suggested that both X-ray bursters and millisecond radio pulsars may be strange (quark) stars, rather than neutron stars. Confirming (or rejecting) this suggestion may require knowing what role strong-field effects of general relativity play in the accretion flow of the compact X-ray source in low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs). We discuss the range of rotational and orbital frequencies, and of masses expected in various models of strange stars, and compare them with...

We investigate the thermodynamic properties of strange quark matter under the strong magnetic field in the framework of the MIT bag model in two cases of bag constants. We consider two cases of the magnetic field, the uniform magnetic field and the density-dependent magnetic field to calculate the equation of state of strange quark matter. For the case of density-dependent magnetic field, we use a Gaussian equation with two free parameters $\beta$ and $\theta$ and use two dif...
