1205.1410 (J. E. Horvath)

The nature of the companion of PSR J1719-1438: a white dwarf or an exotic object?    [PDF]

J. E. Horvath
We rise in this Letter the possibility that the very dense, compact companion of PSR J1719-1438, having a Jupiter-like mass is an exotic quark object rather than a light helium or carbon white dwarf. The exotic hypothesis explains naturally some of the observed features, and gives quite strong predictions for this system, to be confirmed or refuted in future feasible studies.
