From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Q-Star, also known as a Gray hole, is a compact, heavy neutron star with an exotic state of matter. The term Q-Star should not be mistaken for Quark star, as the Q does not stand for quark, but rather, for a conserved particle number. A Q-Star may be mistaken for stellar black hole. One such candidate is the compact object in V404 Cyg.
