We used an incorrect form of Eq. (37). The correct equation iswhere all the quantities have been defined in the original article. All numerical values based on the use of Eq. (37) must be adjusted. However, the qualitative conclusions remain unchanged. More complete details will be included in a future publication.The name of W. Schulz is spelled correctly here, incorrectly in the original paper. 1991 The American Physical Society Erratum: Radioactivity in strange quark matter [Phys. Rev. C 35, 213 (1987)]The calculated surface tension is too small by a factor of 2. The density of states should be given bySince the surface energy is treated as a perturbation, the mass formula which is quoted is easily corrected. All equations are correct as given except for Eqs. (2.26), (2.27), and (2.28) which require an additional factor of 2. Figure 5 should be modified to include an extra factor of 2' on the vertical axis. The qualitative conclusions regarding the decay patterns of unstable strangelets are unaffected, but the regions in which strangelets are unstable to alpha and neutron emission are affected. The critical baryon number A";, is particularly sensitive to the surface tension.In M. S. Berger, Phys. Rev. D 40, 2128 (1989, the same problem occurs. Unfortunately this error seems to have propagated to J. Madsen and M. L. Olesen, Phys. Rev. D 43, 1069 (1991).We would like to thank Israel Mardor for calling our attention to this correction.The symbol 5& which appears in Eq. (3) should read o&. Also, exp(ix) and F [(0 -9, )] appearing in Eq. (5) should read exp(iy) and I' [h(0 -8, ) ], respectively.
