Abstract

We study the relativistic quadrupole oscillations (ι= 2) of strange quark stars by calculating their quasi-normal modes, and we thus explore the possibility of using these oscillation frequencies and damping times to differentiate among relativistic polytropic stars, neutron stars, pure light-quark stars, and hybrid neutron stars with quark cores. We found that quark and strange-quark stars are more efficient gravitational-waves radiators than pure neutron stars. Also, the damping times of various modes are rather sensitive to the details of the quark model such as the Bag constant, quark-gluon interactions, and quark mass corrections.
