Contrary to young neutron stars, young strange stars are not subject to the r-mode instability which slows rapidly rotating, hot neutron stars to rotation periods near 10 ms via gravitational wave emission. Young millisecond pulsars are therefore likely to be strange stars rather than neutron stars, or at least to contain significant quantities of quark matter in the interior.

    Fisher-matrix forecasts show Cosmic Explorer and Einstein Telescope can probe sub-solar PBHs to z~3 and distinguish PBHs from neutron stars up to z~0.2 via lack of tidal deformability.
