Rotational effects in quark stars: comparing different models
November 2025 • Issifu, Adamu, Konstantinou, Andreas, da Silva, Franciele M., Frederico, Tobias
We investigate the rotational properties of self-bound strange quark stars using two representative quark matter equations of state (EOS): the vector MIT bag model and the density-dependent quark mass (DDQM) model. Through general-relativistic calculations of uniformly rotating sequences, we analyze their mass--radius relations, moments of inertia, quadrupole moments, surface redshifts, Keplerian frequencies, and energy components. A central result of this work is the full decomposition of the stellar energy budge…
