Strange star in the presence of a strong magnetic field

We study the effect of a strong magnetic field on interacting quark matter and apply the same to strange star. We find that interacting strange matter is less stable than noninteracting strange matter in the presence of a str ong magnetic field. We then calculate strange star structure parameters suc h as mass and radius and find that the strange star is less compact for int eracting quark matter than for free quark matter in presence of strong magn etic field. The maximum masses of strange stars are found to be within the recent observational limit.
