AXPs/SGRs: Magnetars or Quark-stars?
Renxin Xu
The magnetar model and a solid quark star model for anomalous X-ray pulsars/soft gamma-ray repeaters (AXPs/SGRs) are discussed. Different manifestations of pulsar-like stars are sp…
Propagation of strangelets in the Earth's atmosphere
Fei Wu, Ren-Xin Xu, Bo-Qiang Ma
A new model for the description of the behaviour of strangelets in the Earth's atmosphere is presented. Strangelet fission induced by collision with air nuclei is included. It is s…
Color-charged Quark Matter in Astrophysics?
Congxin Qiu, Renxin Xu
Color confinement is only a supposition, which has not been proved in QCD yet. It is proposed here that macroscopic quark gluon plasma in astrophysics could hardly maintain colorle…
The Birth of Quark Stars: Photon-driven Supernovae?
Anbo Chen, Tianhong Yu, Renxin Xu
In this letter we propose a possible mechanism trying to alleviate the current difficulty in core-collapse supernovae by forming a strange quark star inside the collapsing core. Al…
