We study the thermodynamic properties of asymmetric quark matter and large mass quark stars within the confined-isospin-density-dependent-quark-mass model. We find that the quark matter symmetry energy should be very large in order to describe the recent discovered heavy compact stars PSR J0348+0432 (), MSP J0740+6620 (
of 68.3
credibility interval and
of 95.4
credibility interval) and PSR J2215+5135 (2.27
) as QSs. The tidal deformability
of the QSs is also investigated in this work, and the result indicates that
may depend on the isospin effects and the strength / orientation distribution of the magnetic fields inside the quark stars.
