Effects of non-Newtonian gravity on the properties of strange stars

Zhen-Yan Lu, Guang-Xiong Peng, Kai Zhou

Abstract

Abstract The properties of strange star matter are studied in the equivparticle model with inclusion of non-Newtonian gravity. It is found that the inclusion of non-Newtonian gravity makes the equation of state stiffer if Witten’s conjecture is true. Correspondingly, the maximum mass of strange stars becomes as large as two times the solar mass, and the maximum radius also becomes bigger. The coupling to boson mass ratio has been constrained within the stability range of strange quark matter.
