Strangeon: Localized Quark Cluster Matter
- Strangeon is a hypothesized localized quark cluster composed of nearly equal u, d, and s quarks, proposed to form self-bound, stiff compact stars.
- The framework predicts a sharp surface, low electron content, and possible global solidity at low temperatures, distinguishing it from conventional neutron star models.
- Phenomenological models employing Lennard–Jones potentials and TOV equations provide insights into strangeon stars’ maximum masses, tidal deformability, and merger dynamics.
