In this work, we present a model for stars formed by strange quark matter and quintessence with density which is characterized by a parameter
and with negative radial and tangential pressures
. The construction of the solution is done through the application of a theorem recently proposed for generating algebraic solutions starting from a solution to Einstein’s equations with a perfect fluid in a static and spherically symmetrical space time. The seed solution we employ is the Tolman IV, and we show that the density, radial pressure and tangential pressure of the resulting model are monotonic decreasing functions, as long as the radial and tangential speeds of sound satisfy the conditions of causality, conditions required so that the resulting model is physically acceptable, the stability of the system is guaranteed because it complies with Herrera’s cracking condition, that is to say
. Additionally starting from the observational data of the mass
for the strange star candidate SMC X-1, and assuming a value for the Bag’s constant
, we obtain that the interval for the radius is
km, 8.593260 km].
