In this paper, we take a different scenario of a pure quark star which is completely composed of quarks in the pseudo-Wigner phase. The equation of state (EOS) of deconfined quark stars is studied in the framework of the two-flavor NJL model, and the self-consistent mean field approximation is employed by introducing a parameter α combining the original Lagrangian and the Fierz-transformed Lagrangian, LR = (1 − α)L + αLF , to measure the weights of different interaction channels. We assume deconfinement phase transition happens along with the chiral phase transition. Thus, due to the lack of description of confinement in the NJL model, the vacuum pressure is set to confine quarks at low densities, which is the pressure corresponding to the critical point of chiral phase transition. We find that deconfined quark stars can reach over two-solar-mass, and the bag constant therefore shifts from (130 MeV) 4 to (150 MeV) 4 as α grows. In addition, the tidal deformability Λ is found to range from 253 to 482 along with the decrease of α, which satisfies the astronomical constraint of Λ < 800 for 1.4-solar-mass neutron stars.

Starting from the solution of the Einstein field equations in a static and spherically symmetric spacetime which contains an isotropic fluid, we construct a model to represent the interior of compact objects with compactness rate u=GM/(c<sup>2</sup>R )<0.23577. The solution is obtained by imposing the isotropy condition for the radial and tangential pressures, this generates an ordinary differential equation of second order for the temporal g<sub>tt</sub> and radial g<sub>rr</sub> metric potentials, which can be solved for a specific function of g<sub>tt</sub>. The graphic analysis of the solution shows that it is physically acceptable, that is to say, the density, pressure and speed of sound are positive, regular and monotonically decreasing functions, also, the solution is stable due to meeting the criteria of the adiabatic index. When taking the data of mass M=1.44<sup>+0.15</sup><sub>-0.14</sub>M</sub>⊙</sub> and radius R=13.02<sup>+1.24</sup><sub>-1.06</sub> km which corresponds to the estimations of the star PSR J0030+045 we obtain values of central density ρ<sub>c</sub>=7.5125x10<sup>17</sup> kg/m<sup>3</sup> for the maximum compactness u=0.19628 and of ρ<sub>c</sub>=2.8411x10<sup>17</sup> kg/m<sup>3</sup> for the minimum compactness u=0.13460, which are consistent with those expected for this type of stars.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
