Radial and Non-Radial Oscillations of Inverted Hybrid Stars

Chen Zhang, Yudong Luo, Hong-bo Li +2

We study the radial and non-radial oscillations of Cross stars (CrSs), i.e., stars with a quark matter crust and a hadronic matter core in an inverted order compared to conventiona…

Rescaling strange-cluster stars and its implications on gravitational-wave echoes

Chen Zhang, Yong Gao, Cheng-Jun Xia +1

Solid states of strange-cluster matter called strangeon matter can form strangeon stars that are highly compact. We show that strangeon matter and strangeon stars can be recast int…

Hybrid stars may have an inverted structure

Chen Zhang, Jing Ren

We propose a new stellar structure of compact stars, the ``cross stars" that consist of a hadronic matter core and a quark matter crust, with an inverted structure compared to the…

Stellar Structure and Stability of Charged Interacting Quark Stars and Their Scaling Behaviour

Chen Zhang, Michael Gammon, Robert B. Mann

We explore the stellar structure and radial stability of charged quark stars composed of interacting quark matter (IQM) in three classes of commonly used charge models. We adopt a…

Unified Interacting Quark Matter and its Astrophysical Implications

Chen Zhang, Robert B. Mann

We investigate interacting quark matter (IQM), including the perturbative QCD correction and color superconductivity, for both up-down quark matter (QM) and strange quark matte…

Probing up-down quark matter via gravitational waves

Chen Zhang

Recently, it was shown that quark matter with only and quarks (QM) can be the ground state of matter for baryon numbers with …
