To Understand the UV-optical Excess of RX J1856.5-3754
Y. L. Yue, X. H. Cui, R. X. Xu
The enigma source, RX J1856.5-3754, is one of the so-called dim thermal neutron stars. Two puzzles of RXJ1856.5-3754 exist: (1) the observational X-ray spectrum is completely featu…
Quarks and Quakes
R. X. Xu, A. Z. Zhou
A quake model of bare strange stars for normal pulsar glitches is summarized. Three mechanisms being responsible for developing elastic stress energy are presented. It is suggested…
Low-mass bare strange stars
R. X. Xu
Strange stars with low masses are suggested to exist in reality, the origin of which could be via accretion-induced collapse (AIC) of white dwarfs. Such a strange star is likely ba…
A note on solid pulsars
R. X. Xu
After a brief introduction to the necessary of quark stars in modelling pulsars, I present a qualitative analysis of the solidification of quark matter with low-temperature but hig…
Solid Bare Strange Quark Stars
R. X. Xu
The reason, we need three terms of `strange', `bare', and `solid' before quark stars, is presented concisely though some fundamental issues are not certain. Observations favoring t…
Strange quark stars - A review
R. X. Xu
A pedagogical overview of strange quark matter and strange stars is presented. After a historical notation of the research and an introduction to quark matter, a major part is devo…
