read the original abstract

The lowest-mass stars, brown dwarfs and giant exoplanets span a minimum in the mass-radius relationship that probes the fundamental physics of extreme states of matter, magnetism, and fusion. This White Paper outlines scientific opportunities and the necessary resources for modeling and measuring the mass-radius relationship in this regime.

Close-in Exoplanets as Candidates of Strange Quark Matter Objects
astro-ph.HE 2019-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

Eleven ultra-short-period companions around pulsars and white dwarfs are identified as candidate strange quark matter planets based on tidal stability and inferred minimum densities.
