dc.descriptionBoth rotation- and accretion-powered low-mass bare strange stars are studied, the astrophysical appearances of which are especially focused. It is suggested that low-mass bare strange stars, with weaker ferromagnetic fields than that of normal pulsars, could result from accretion-induced collapses (AIC) of white dwarfs. According to its peculiar timing behavior, we propose that the radio-quiet object, 1E 1207.4-5209, could be a low-mass bare strange star with polar surface magnetic field ~ 6 x 10^10 G and a few kilometers in radius. The low-mass bare strange star idea is helpful to distinguish neutron and strange stars, and is testable by imaging pulsar-like stars with the future Constellation-X telescope.
