It is possible that a system composed of up, down and strange quarks consiststhe true ground state of nuclear matter at high densities and low temperatures.This exotic plasma, called strange quark matter (SQM), seems to be even morefavorable energetically if quarks are in a superconducting state, the so-calledcolor-flavor locked state. Here are presented calculations made on the basis ofthe MIT bag model considering the influence of finite temperature on theallowed parameters characterizing the system for stability of bulk SQM (theso-called stability windows) and also for strangelets, small lumps of SQM, bothin the color-flavor locking scenario. We compare these results with theunpaired SQM and also briefly discuss some astrophysical implications of them.Also, the issue of strangelet's electric charge is discussed. The effects ofdynamical screening, though important for non-paired SQM strangelets, are notrelevant when considering pairing among all three flavor and colors of quarks.
