Description

Full text: Hydrodynamical simulations of strange star mergers are presented. These studies allow to estimate the amount of strange matter that becomes gravitationally unbound and thus contributes to the cosmic ray flux of strangelets. Implications for the Madsen-Caldwell-Friedman argument are discussed. Gravitational wave features of this kind of mergers will be addressed as well. (author)
