The observational appearance of strange stars
Vladimir V. Usov
Strange quark matter with the density of ~ 5\times 10^{14} g cm^{-3} might exist up to the surface of a strange star. This differs qualitatively from the case of a neutron star and…
Response of bare strange stars to energy input onto their surfaces
Vladimir V. Usov
We study numerically the thermal emission of pairs from a bare strange star heated by energy input onto its surface; heating starts at some moment, and is steady afterward…
Strange Star Heating Events as a Model for Giant Flares of Soft Gamma-ray Repeaters
V. V. Usov
Two giant flares were observed on 5 March 1979 and 27 August 1998 from the soft gamma-ray repeaters SGR 0526-66 and SGR 1900+14, respectively. The striking similarity between these…
Thermal emission from bare quark matter surfaces of hot strange stars
Vladimir V. Usov
We consider the thermal emission of photons and electron-positron pairs from the bare quark surface of a hot strange star. The radiation of high-energy (> 20 MeV) equilibrium photo…
