What is a Quark Star?
A quark star is a hypothetical neutron star with a core of
superdense strange quark matter.
The basic principle is that the
matter within a quark star is more densely packed, even than
nuclear matter.
This ‘squashed’ area is thought to be composed of
free quarks, or crystalcrystallized [material arranged into a lattice]s
of sub-nuclear particles, rather than Not crystals even though the
matter “crystallizes” it just takes up equal spaces in a lattice
arrangement.
neutrons.
To understand a quark star, first westar, we must consider a
neutron star.
The most compact solid objects in the universe known to exist are
neutron stars; 16 miles across and about 1.
5 times as massive as
our Sun.
The density is perhaps a thousand million million tons per
cubic metre,1000 million million times that of water.
