The Structure of Strange Stars with a New Quark Mass Scaling
Abstract
The structure of strange stars is investigated with a newly obtained quark mass scaling which contains both confinement and perturbative interactions. The equation of state of strange quark matter becomes stiffer when the perturbative interactions are dominant at higher density. Correspondingly, the maximum mass of strange starsis as large as two times the solar mass if the strange quark matter is absolutely stable or metastable.
