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 {sup 56}Fe (Witten`s strange matter hypothesis). Observable quantities which allow to distinguish such objects from their ``conventional`` counterparts, neutron stars and white dwarfs, are pointed out.
