Witten (1984) has argued that nuclear matter consisting of up, down, and strange quarks in roughly equal proportion may be stable for virtually any value of A. These strange quark balls are candidates for the constituents of the 'dark mass' in galaxies. de Rujula and Glashow (1984) use the term 'nuclearite' to describe such a particle in collision with the earth. Pacheco et al. (1985) have quantitatively analyzed the atomic physics of the nuclearite. The standard Thomas-Fermi (TF) statistical method was employed to determine the electrostatic potential and the charge distribution. The present study is concerned with a reconsideration of the atomic physics of nuclearites in order to investigate the modification introduced by the relativistic variation of mass with velocity. Attention is given to the relativistic Thomas-Fermi equation for a nucleus of finite extent, and an application to nuclearites and heavy atoms.
