A quark star is a hypothetical type of compact, exotic star, where extremely high core temperature and pressure have forced nuclear particles to form quark matter, a continuous state of matter consisting of free quarks. == Background == Some massive stars collapse to form neutron stars at the end of their life cycle, as has been both observed and explained theoretically.
