Abstract

Strange stars with a crystalline color superconducting crust can sustain large shear stresses, supporting torsional oscillations of large amplitude. We consider a simple model of strange star with a bare quark matter surface. When a torsional oscillation is excited, for example by a stellar glitch, the positive charge at the star surface oscillates, with typical kHz frequencies, for a 1km thick crust, to hundreds of Hz, for a 9km thick crust. Higher frequencies, of the order of few GHz, can be reached if the star crust is of the order of few centimeters thick. The estimated emitted power is of the order of 1045 erg/s.
