abstract
The structure of light quark star is studied within a new two-flavor NJL model. By retaining the contribution from the vector term in the Fierz-transformed Lagrangian, a two-solar-mass pure quark star is achieved. To overcome the disadvantage of three-momentum truncation in the regularisation procedure, we introduce the proper-time regularisation. We also employ the newly proposed definition of vacuum pressure, in which the quasi-Wigner vacuum (corresponding to the quasi-Winger solution of the gap equation) is used as the reference ground state. Free parameter includes only a mixing constant $\alpha$ which weighs contribution from Fierz-transformed Lagrangian. We constrain $\alpha$ to be around $0.9$ by the observed mass of pulsars $PSR J0348+0432$ and $PSR J1614-2230$. We find the calculated surface energy density meets the requirement ($> 2.80\times10^{14}$g/cm$^3 $). Besides, for a 1.4 solar mass star, the tidal Love number $k_2$ and deformability $\Lambda$ are calculated which satisfies the constrain $200 < \Lambda < 800$.

Interacting quark matter and $f(Q)$ gravity: A new paradigm in exploring the properties of quark stars
Exact quark star solutions in linear f(Q) gravity with an interacting quark matter equation of state yield 1.8 to 2.1 solar mass stars, but the f(Q) setup is equivalent to general relativity and the observed-radius match is obtained by tuning m_s.
