I'm sorry, did I say "quark stars?"

I meant to say, "strange quark stars."
The objective of this work is to study the distribution of the magnetic field in a more realistic strange quark star, with a core consisting of atomic nuclei and degenerate electrons (Ae phase).
This is not getting much easier.

Ah, well...

O.o How can the CORE of a quark star consist of the matter that is theorised to comprise the outer shell of a neutron star, if the neutron star becomes quark star with the increase in pressure!?

It should be nuclei+degenerate electrons --> neutrons --> quarks, going frome the outside in, not the other way round.

Aha! Thanks for catching a mistranslation!

Not "core," but "crust" (кора, which reflects what you said, I think).

Another one bites the dust!

UPDATE: Turns out I had it right the first couple of times the word appears in the text, then suffered an apparent brain fart and imagined it to be a pseudo-cognate.

Thanks again!

Yes, "crust" sounds correct. "Core" would be "ядро", or "внутренняя область" of a star.

Oh, yes, I really dislike brain farts like this. They are so annoying!

You're welcome.

So, knowledge of both the structure of quark stars and Les Misérables... what other talents do you hide?

Cheers...

Well, I am certified to translate French law documents, but I've never worked with them.

Isaac Asimov's popular science book about the life cycle of stars I've read years ago was so well-written that adding new knowledge to the model (such as quark stars) is both easy and interesting.
