Analysis of white dwarfs with strange-matter cores
Analysis of white dwarfs with strange-matter cores
In this paper, The authors expand on a previous study [33] aimed at identifying nearby candidate white dwarfs with strange-matter cores. The authors review the evidence for two populations of white dwarfs, one of which is more compact. The authors present an updated list of nearby stars with best determined masses and radii which are consistent with the existence of a strange-matter core, propose some observational tests of this hypothesis.
