Solid quark matter alternatives
againstThis argument, if it holds, weighs against the claim.constitution →Pulsar glitches are difficult to explain with strange quark star models
The argument
If solid strangeon star models reproduce observed glitch behavior through starquakes, or if crystalline color-superconducting quark matter is rigid enough to support glitches through vortices pinned in the rigid quark matter itself, then quark star variants possess glitch mechanisms that need no conventional crust, and the difficulty applies only to fluid strange star models rather than to strange quark star models generally.
Does it work?
Not yet evaluated.
Premises
- UnassessedNo current assessment. Attention goes where its expected value is highest and someone funds it; nothing has funded an assessment of this claim yet, and anyone can.constitution →Solid strangeon star models can reproduce observed pulsar glitch behavior through starquakes
