Rotational parameters of strange stars in comparison with neutron stars

TL;DR

This paper compares the rotational parameters of strange stars and neutron stars, including mass, radius, and orbital frequencies, to aid in modeling observed features from low-mass X-ray binaries.

Contribution

It provides a comparative analysis of key rotational and orbital parameters of strange stars and neutron stars across different spin frequencies.

Findings

Strange stars and neutron stars show distinct mass-radius relationships.

Calculated orbital radii corresponding to kHz QPO frequencies.

Insights into the structure of compact stars for observational modeling.

Abstract

I study stellar structures $i.e.$ the mass, the radius, the moment of inertia and the oblateness parameter at different spin frequencies for strange stars and neutron stars in a comparative manner. I also calculate the values of the radii of the marginally stable orbits and Keplerian orbital frequencies. By equating kHz QPO frequencies to Keplerian orbital frequencies, I find corresponding orbital radii. Knowledge about these parameters might be useful in further modeling of the observed features from LMXBs with advanced and improved future techniques for observations and data analysis.
