| contents | We study the rotational properties of inverted hybrid stars (also termed cross stars), which have been recently proposed as a possible new class of compact stars characterized by an outer layer of quark matter and a core of hadrons, in an inverted structure compared to traditional hybrid stars. We analyze distinct models representing varying depths of quark-hadron phase transitions. Our findings reveal that, while cross stars rotating at their Kepler frequencies typically exhibit a significantly higher mass and larger circumferential radius as anticipated, interestingly, there is a significant increase in potential twin configurations in the case of rapid rotations. We further study sequences of constant baryonic mass, representing potential paths of rotational evolution. Our results indicate that not all stars in these sequences are viable due to the onset of phase transitions during spin-down, leading to possible mini-collapses. We also investigate the phenomenon of ``back-bending" during spin-down sequences, which is manifested in a rather different shape for cross stars due to their inverted structure and the large density discontinuity caused by the strong phase transition, in contrast to traditional hybrid stars. Our research enriches existing studies by introducing the significant aspect of rotation, unveiling intr |
