Distinguishing Bare Quark Stars from Neutron Stars
Prashanth Jaikumar, Charles Gale, Dany Page +1
Observations to date cannot distinguish neutron stars from self-bound bare quark stars on the basis of their gross physical properties such as their masses and radii alone. However…
Cosmology from Moduli Dynamics
Tirthabir Biswas, Prashanth Jaikumar
We investigate moduli field dynamics in supergravity/M-theory like set ups where we turn on fluxes along some or all of the extra dimensions. As has been argued in the context of s…
Neutrino Emission and Mass Ejection in Quark Novae
Petteri Keranen, Rachid Ouyed, Prashanth Jaikumar
We explore the role of neutrinos in a Quark Nova explosion. We study production of neutrinos during this event, their propagation and their interactions with the surrounding quark…
Bremsstrahlung photons from the bare surface of a strange quark star
Prashanth Jaikumar, Charles Gale, Dany Page +1
The photon emissivity from the bremsstrahlung process ee-> eeγoccuring in the electrosphere at the bare surface of a strange quark star is calculated. For surface temperatures T<10…
Neutrino emission in neutron matter from magnetic moment interactions
Prashanth Jaikumar, K. R. S. Balaji, Charles Gale
Neutrino emission drives neutron star cooling for the first several hundreds of years after its birth. Given the low energy ( keV) nature of this process, one expects very fe…
