Constraint on the equation of state of strange quark star: Perturbative QCD along with a density-dependent bag constant

This study investigates the structural properties of strange quark stars (SQS) using a Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) perturbative model combined with the latest Particle Data Group dataset. Given the energy scale present in compact stars, QCD perturbation theory alone may not fully explain their structure. To account for non-perturbative contributions, we incorporate a density-dependent effective bag parameter, B, and derive the equation of state (EOS) for strange quark matter (SQM). We start by demonstrating the limitations of EOSs with a constant B in describing massive objects with MTOV>2M⊙. Subsequently, we show that considering B as a density-dependent function significantly changes the results. Our definition of B includes two parameters determined by both theoretical and observational constraints. We demonstrate that incorporating a density-dependent B into the perturbative EOS can yield SQSs with masses exceeding 2M⊙, while complying with gravitational wave constraints such as tidal deformability, and thermodynamic considerations, including stability conditions and speed of sound behavior. Specifically, we show that massive compact objects like PSR J0952-0607, PSR J2215+5135, PSR J0740+6620, and the secondary mass of GW190814 can be SQSs. Additionally, we compare our EOS with the EOS of the authors who use a generalized polytropic form with adjustable parameters and obtain an interesting result.
