Dany Page: Crust cooling of strange stars vs neutron stars

Dany described how as cooling depends on the thickness of the crust it should be possible to distinguish between neutron stars and strange stars - a strange star has a much thinner crust (a few hundred metres as opposed to km).  So, relaxation of the crust should be a good test.  However, he hasn't yet had the chance to do the calculations.......answers may be coming in the near future.
