摘要:We investigate the implications of the r-modes instability on the composition of a compact star
rotating at a sub-millisecond period. In particular, the only viable astrophysical scenario for
such an object, wich might present inside the Low Mass X-ray Binary associated with the x-ray
transient XTE J1739-285, is that it has a strangeness content. Since previous analysis indicate that
hyperonic stars or stars containing a kaon condensate are unlikely because of the mass-shedding
constraint, the only remaining possibility is that such an object is either a strange quark star or a
hybrid quark-hadron star.
