AbstractA Polyakov chiral $$\text {SU(3)}$$ SU(3) quark mean-field (PCQMF) model is applied to study the properties of strange quark matter (SQM) and strange quark star (SQS) in $$\beta $$ β -equilibrium. The effect of increasing the strength of vector interactions on the effective constituent quark mass, particle fractions, and the thermodynamical properties such as pressure, energy density, and the speed of sound is investigated. We investigate the above properties for the SQM relevant for various stages of star evolution, i.e., considering with/without trapped neutrinos and zero/finite entropy. The finite lepton fraction and the entropy of the medium is observed to cause the stiffness in the equation of state (EoS). Finally, we calculate the mass-radius relation and the dimensionless tidal deformability within the present model calculations and compare the results to the recent studies.

New forms of matter such as super-hypernuclei (strange quark matter) and superhypernuclear stars (strange quark stars) as candidates for dark matter are discussed in some detail, based on the so-called "Bodmer–Terazawa–Witten hypothesis" assuming that they are stable absolutely or quasi-stable (decaying only weakly).

AbstractWe study the thermodynamic properties of asymmetric quark matter, large mass quark stars (QSs), and proto-quark stars (PQSs) within the quasiparticle model. Considering the effects of temperature within quasiparticle model can significantly influence the EOS and the entropy of strange quark matter (SQM), quark fractions in SQM, as well as the tidal deformability and the maximum mass of PQSs along the star evolution line. Our results indicate that the recent discovered heavy compact stars PSR J0348+0432, MSR J0740+6620, PSR J2215+5135, and especially the GW190814’s secondary component $$m_2$$ m 2 can be well described as QSs within the quasiparticle model. The tidal deformability for the QSs describing the heavy compact stars is extremely large, which can not well describe GW170817 as QSs, and the effects of the temperature in the heating process along the star evolution will further increase the tidal deformability and the maximum mass of PQSs.

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 strange stars is also discussed.

We review the stability of magnetized strange quark matter (MSQM) within the phenomenological MIT bag model, taking into account the variation of the relevant input parameters, namely, the strange quark mass, baryon density, magnetic field and bag parameter. A comparison with magnetized asymmetric quark matter in β-equilibrium as well as with strange quark matter (SQM) is presented. We obtain that the energy per baryon for MSQM decreases as the magnetic field increases, and its minimum value at vanishing pressure is lower than the value found for SQM, which implies that MSQM is more stable than non-magnetized SQM. The mass–radius relation for magnetized strange quark stars is also obtained in this framework.

In this article, we study rotating strange quark stars in the context of general relativity. For this purpose we consider perfect fluid model composed of strange quark matter with electromagnetic field in the Gödel Universe which has rigid rotation. We solve Einstein's field equations by using equation of state for strange quark matter. Also, we discuss the features of obtained solutions.
