Bodmer, Terazawa, and Witten hypothesized these objects may be made of strange matter. Antikaons may form a Bose condensate in these objects. The relationship between their density and mass is given by their equation of state, which includes constraints like the percentage of the moment of inertia contributed from the outer part of the envelope of these objects. Vela is one of these objects that exhibit both "spaghetti" and "Swiss cheese" phases under their surfaces. Although not (*) white dwarfs, the Urca process is assumed to be responsible for their cooling. Thought to form from the core collapse of stars undergoing type-II supernovae, these stars have their mass capped at about three solar masses, or the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff limit. Two types of these stars are magnetars and pulsars. For 10 points, name these stars that are largely composed of their namesake uncharged particles.
