This bound is inversely proportional to the maximum allowable mass M_max, and it reads g_s <= 1.411 x 10^15 (M_sun/M_max) cm/s^2. It implies an absolute upper bound 7.4 x 10^14 cm/s^2 if one uses the 2sigma lower bound on the neutron mass measured recently in 4U1700-37, 1.9 M_sun. A correlation between g_s and the compactness parameter 2GM/Rc^2 for baryonic stars is analyzed. The properties of g_s of strange quark stars and its upper bounds are discussed using the scaling properties of the strange-star models.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2004-03-23T14:20:52.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "neutron stars", "surface gravity", "strange stars", "strange quark stars", "2sigma lower bound" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 646886 } } }
