| Abstract: | In three-dimensional smooth particle hydrodynamic simulations of the coalescence of a quark star with a pseudo-Newtonian black hole all of the quark matter is quickly accreted by the black hole. The Madsen–Caldwell–Friedman argument against the existence of quark stars may need to be re-examined. |
