A new star strange lurks perhaps in our galaxy - and an astrophysicist at the Weizmann Institute is close on the track.
Prof. Vladimir Usov from the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel, describes in Physical Review Letters (edition of 12 January 1998) is the third and last of those features, might finally be able to identify those strange stars by astronomers, whose existence before 15 years has been predicted. The first two features described Usov in the Astrophysical Journal Letters (issue dated 1 June 1997).
"From the observed celestial bodies in our galaxy are probably only a handful of strange stars. But this would be an entirely new class of celestial objects with unusual properties, "says Usov. By Usovs defined by three characteristics are strange stars would differ from the externally very similar neutron stars. There are in our galaxy about 1000 observed objects that are classified as neutron stars.
