Abstract: (arXiv)
We study gravitational collapse of the general spherically symmetric null strange quark fluid having the equation of state, p=(ρ4B)/np = (\rho - 4B)/n, where BB is the bag constant. An interesting feature that emerges is that the initial data set giving rise to naked singularity in the Vaidya collapse of null fluid gets covered due to the presence of strange quark matter component. Its implication to the Cosmic Censorship Conjecture is discussed.
