Rapidly rotating strange stars for a new equation of state of strange quark matter
I. Bombaci, A. V. Thampan, B. Datta
For a new equation of state of strange quark matter, we construct equilibrium sequences of rapidly rotating strange stars in general relativity. The sequences are the normal and su…
Temperature Profiles of Accretion Disks around Rapidly Rotating Neutron Stars in General Relativity and Implications for Cygnus X-2
S. Bhattacharyya, A. V. Thampan, R. Misra +1
We calculate the temperature profiles of (thin) accretion disks around rapidly rotating neutron stars (with low surface magnetic fields), taking into account the full effects of ge…
Conversion of neutron stars to strange stars as the central engine of gamma-ray bursts
Ignazio Bombaci, Bhaskar Datta
We study the conversion of a neutron star to a strange star as a possible energy source for gamma-ray bursts. We use different recent models for the equation of state of neutron st…
Possible signatures for strange stars in stellar X-ray binaries
Bhaskar Datta, Arun V. Thampan, Ignazio Bombaci
Kilohertz quasi-periodic brightness oscillations (kHz QPOs) observed in certain X-ray burst sources may represent Keplerian frequencies in the inner regions of the accretion disk i…
Equilibrium Sequences of Rotating Neutron Stars for New Microscopic Equations of State
B. Datta, A. V. Thampan, I. Bombaci
For four newly suggested microscopic equations of state of neutron star matter, we construct equilibrium sequences of rapidly rotating neutron stars in general relativity. The sequ…
Implications of kHz Quasi-Periodic Brightness Oscillations in X--Ray Binaries for Neutron Star Structure
A. V. Thampan, D. Bhattacharya, B. Datta
Kilohertz quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) in low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) may represent the orbital frequencies of the innermost Keplerian orbits around accreting neutron sta…
