Rapidly rotating strange stars for a new equation of state of strange quark matter

For a new equation of state of strange quark matter, we construct equilibri um sequences of rapidly rotating strange stars in general relativity. The s equences are the normal and supramassive evolutionary sequences of constant rest mass. We also calculate equilibrium sequences for a constant value of Omega corresponding to the most rapidly rotating pulsar PSR 1937+21. In ad dition, we calculate the radius of the marginally stable orbit and its depe ndence on Omega, relevant for modeling of kilohertz quasi-periodic oscillat ions in X-ray binaries.
