How to Test the Two-Families Scenario
arXiv:1905.04681 · doi:10.1063/1.5117816
Abstract
We shortly summarize the two-families scenario in which both hadronic stars and strange quark stars can exist and we describe the main predictions one can obtain from it. We then concentrate on the observables that most likely will be measured in the near future, i.e. masses, radii, tidal deformabilities and moments of inertia and we present a list of objects that are candidate strange quark stars in this scheme. We show that the estimates of the radii derived up to now from observations are all compatible with the two-families scenario and in particular all the objects having large radii can easily be interpreted as strange quark stars.
