Description
We investigate the properties of electrically charged strange quark stars using an interacting quark matter equation of state (EoS) based on cold and dense perturbative quantum chromodynamics (pQCD). The stability of strange stars is analyzed considering different models for the electric charge distribution inside the star as well as for distinct values for the total electric charge. A comparison with the predictions derived using the MIT bag model is also presented. We show that the presence of a net electric charge inside strange stars implies in a larger maximum mass in comparison to their neutral counterparts. Moreover, we demonstrate that the pQCD EoS implies in larger values for the maximum mass of charged strange stars, with very heavy charged stars being stable systems against radial oscillations. For an electric charge distribution given by $q(r) = \beta r^3$, the pQCD EoS implies in unstable configurations for large values of the renormalization scale as well as for large values of $\beta$, in contrast to the MIT bag model predictions.
