Exotica in rotating compact stars
arXiv:astro-ph/0506624 · doi:10.1088/1742-6596/50/1/025
Abstract
The determination of mass and radius of a single neutron star EXO 0748-676 has been reported recently. Also, the estimate of radius from the measurement of moment of inertia of pulsar A in double pulsar system PSR J0737-3039 would be possible in near future. Here we construct models of static and uniformly rotating neutron stars involving exotic matter and compare our theoretical calculations with the recent findings from observations to probe dense matter in neutron stars.
