We analyzed the transverse momentum pT spectra of various strange hadrons KS0, Λ(Λ¯) and Ξ−(Ξ¯+) at mid-rapidity (y) in different centrality intervals from Au+Au collisions at sNN= 54.4 GeV. The pT spectra of these strange hadrons are investigated by the Tsallis-like distribution, which satisfactorily fits the experimental data. The bulk properties of the medium produced in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions at the kinetic freeze-out are reflected by measuring the hadron spectra. The effective temperature T, transverse flow velocity βT, and mean pT along with other parameters that are strongly dependent on centrality and particle specie are extracted. The effective temperature of multi-strange particle (Ξ−(Ξ¯+)) is larger as compared to singly-strange particles Λ(Λ¯) and KS0. Furthermore, the kinetic freeze-out temperature T, transverse flow velocity βT. and mean pT (〈pT〉) show a decreasing trend towards lower centrality, while the entropy parameter q increases from central to peripheral collisions. In addition, a positive correlation of 〈pT〉 and T and a negative correlation of q and T are also reported.
