The observational appearance of strange stars
Usov, Vladimir V.
Original · EN
Strange quark matter with the density of 5× 10¹⁴ g cm⁻³ might exist up to the surface of a strange star. This differs qualitatively from the case of a neutron star and opens observational possibilities to distinguish strange stars from neutron stars. The thermal emission of photons and e+e- pairs from the bare (or nearly bare) quark surface of hot strange stars is reviewed. Bare strange stars are reasonable candidates for soft gamma-ray repeaters. The bursting activity of a soft gamma-ray repeater may be explained by fast heating of the bare quark surface of a strange star up to the temperature of (1-2)× 10⁹ K and its subsequent thermal emission.
