裸奇异星研究进展

Progress in the Study of Bare Strange Stars

简要介绍了近几年来裸奇异星研究的一些重要进展,包括裸奇异星表面的电学性质和辐射机制,夸克表面存在的一些可能天体物理后果(如射电脉冲星的漂移子脉冲现象和软γ射线重复源的超Eddington辐射现象)等。这些研究结果对从天文观测上区分中子星和奇异星、证认奇异星的存在具有重要意义。

Rccent progress in the study of barc strange stars is briefly reviewed. Discussions of the elec-tric characters and the cmission mechanisms of bare quark surface, and of the possible astrophys-ical imp1ications of the existence of bare strange stars, e.g., the drifting sub-pulse phenomenon ofradio pulsars and the super-Eddington emission of soft gammaray repeaters, are presented. Theseresearches are essential to distinguish neutron stars and (bare) strange stars in astrophysics.
