✦ Synopsis

This paper deals with an investigation of the properties of hypothetical strange-matter stars, which are composed of u, d, s quark matter whose energy per baryon number lies below the one of ~6Fe. Observable quantities which allow to distinguish such objects from their "conventional" counterparts, i.e., neutron stars and white dwarfs, are pointed out.
