Response of bare strange stars to energy input onto their surfaces
Vladimir V. Usov ;
Date 2 Jul 2001
Journal Astrophys.J. 559 (2001) L135
Subject astro-ph hep-ph nucl-th
AbstractWe study numerically the thermal emission of $e^+e^-$ pairs from a bare strange star heated by energy input onto its surface; heating starts at some moment, and is steady afterwards. The thermal luminosity in $e^+e^-$ pairs increases to some constant value. The rise time and the steady thermal luminosity are evaluated. Both normal and colour superconducting states of strange quark matter are considered. The results are used to test the magnetar model of soft gamma-ray repeaters where the bursting activity is explained by fast decay of superstrong magnetic fields and heating of the strange star surface. It is shown that the rise times observed in typical bursts may be explained in this model only if strange quark matter is a superconductor with an energy gap of more that 1 MeV.
