The fastest rotating pulsar: A strange star?

Abstract

According to the observational limits on the radius and mass, the fastest rotating pulsar (PSR 1937+21) is probably a strange star, or at least some neutron star equations of state should be ruled out, if we suggest that a dipole magnetic field is relevant to its radio emission. We presume that the millisecond pulsar is a strange star with {\em much} low mass, small radius, and weak magnetic moment.
