Description
Strange stars with a crystalline color superconducting crust can sustain
large shear stresses, supporting torsional oscillations of large
amplitude. Moreover if a bare quark matter surface is present electrons
spill in the star exterior forming an electromagnetically bounded
atmosphere hundreds of Fermi thick. We investigate the electromagnetic
signature connected with a torsional oscillation of the crust. The emitted
power could be of the order of 10^51 erg/s. The emission is in the radio
frequency band with estimated relaxation times ranging between
milliseconds, for a 1 km thick crust, to minutes, for a 9 km crust.
