Many of the observed stars fit in with this kind of compactness, irrespective of whether they are X-ray pulsars, bursters or soft γ repeaters or even radio pulsars. We point out that a change in the radius of a star can be small or large, when its mass is increasing and this depends on the position of a particular star on the mass radius curve. We carry out a stability analysis against radial oscillations and compare with the EOS of other SS models. We find that the ReSS is stable and an M-R region can be identified to that effectenStrange stars (SS)Realistic equation of stateArticle
