Thermal Evolution of Strange Stars
Zhou Xia, Wang Lingzhi, Zhou Aizhi
TL;DR
This paper studies how rotating strange stars cool down over time, considering magnetic braking and phase states of quark matter, and finds their thermal evolution matches observed pulsar data.
Contribution
It introduces a model combining deconfinement heating with magnetic field decay for strange stars in different quark phases, matching observational data.
Findings
Thermal evolution curves align with pulsar observations.
Deconfinement heating significantly influences star cooling.
Color-flavor-locked phase affects thermal behavior.
Abstract
We investigated the thermal evolution of rotating strange stars with the deconfinement heating due to magnetic braking. We consider the stars consisting of either normal quark matter or color-flavor-locked phase. Combining deconfinement heating with magnetic field decay, we find that the thermal evolution curves are identical to pulsar data.
