Anisotropic strange star with Tolman-Kuchowicz metric under $f(R,T)$ gravity

In the current article, we study anisotropic spherically symmetric strange star under the background of $f(R,T)$ gravity using the metric potentials of Tolman-Kuchowicz type~\cite{Tolman1939,Kuchowicz1968} as $λ(r)=\ln(1+ar^2+br^4)$ and $ν(r)=Br^2+2\ln C$ which are free from singularity, satisfy stability criteria and also well behaved. We calculate the value of constants $a$, $b$, $B$ and $C$ using matching conditions and the observed values of the masses and radii of known samples. To describe the strange quark matter (SQM) distribution, here we have used the phenomenological MIT bag model equation of state (EOS) where the density profile ($ρ$) is related to the radial pressure ($p_r$) as $p_r(r)=\frac{1}{3}(ρ-4B_g)$. Here quark pressure is responsible for generation of bag constant $B_g$. Motivation behind this study lies in finding out a non-singular physically acceptable solution having various properties of strange stars. The model shows consistency with various energy conditions, TOV equation, Herrera's cracking condition and also with Harrison-Zel$'$dovich-Novikov's static stability criteria. Numerical values of EOS parameter and the adiabatic index also enhance the acceptability of our model.

Neutron star under homotopy perturbation method

We obtain a mass function solving the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff (TOV) equation for isotropic and spherically symmetric system via homotopy perturbation method (HPM). Using the mass function we construct a stellar model which can be determined from the equation of state (EOS) parameter ($ω$) and a model parameter ($n$). With the help of Einstein field equations we develop three solutions which can describe different properties and the core-crust structure of neutron star (NS). Solution I is valid for NS having the inner and outer radius near the surface of the star. The star is physical up to the inner radius whereas negative density occurs and the energy conditions are violated in the upper region from the inner to outer radius. Solution II represents NS with high gravitational redshift as well as compactification factor. All the features of NS can be given by solution III which involves only the EOS parameter. Our model predicts maximum mass for a NS with the central density $5.5\times10^{15}~g/cm^{3}$ and surface redshift 0.69 is to be $2.01~M_\odot$ for the EOS parameter $ω=0.73$. The predicted range for the surface redshift is $0.57<Z_s<1.95$ for the allowed ranges $8.4<n<10.9$ and $1/3<ω<1$ in the presented NS model.

Relativistic strange stars in Tolman-Kuchowicz spacetime

In this article we propose a relativistic model of a static spherically symmetric anisotropic strange star with the help of Tolman-Kuchowicz (TK) metric potentials [Tolman, Phys. Rev. {\bf55}, 364 (1939) and Kuchowicz, Acta Phys. Pol. {\bf33}, 541 (1968)]. The form of the potentials are $λ(r)=\ln(1+ar^2+br^4)$ and $ν(r)=Br^2+2\ln C$ where $a$, $b$, $B$ and $C$ are constants which we have to evaluate using boundary conditions. We also consider the simplest form of the phenomenological MIT bag equation of state (EOS) to represent the strange quark matter (SQM) distribution inside the stellar system. Here, the radial pressure $p_r$ relates with the density profile $ρ$ as follows, $p_r(r)=\frac{1}{3}[ρ(r)-4B_g]$, where $B_g$ is the Bag constant. To check the physical acceptability and stability of the stellar system based on the obtained solutions, we have performed various physical tests. It is shown that the model satisfies all the stability criteria, including nonsingular nature of the density and pressure, implies stable nature. Here, the Bag constant for different strange star candidates are found to be $(68-70)$~MeV/{fm}$^3$ which satisfies all the acceptability criteria and remains in the experimental range.

Study of QCD generalized ghost dark energy in FRW universe

A phenomenological generalized ghost dark energy model has been studied under the framework of FRW universe. In ghost dark energy model the energy density depends linearly on Hubble parameter (H) but in this dark energy model, the energy density contains a the sub-leading term which is depends on $\mathcal{O} (H^2)$, so the energy density takes the form $ρ_D=αH+ βH^2$, where $α$ and $β$ are the constants. The solutions of the Friedman equation of our model leads to a stable universe. We have fitted our model with the present observational data including Stern data set. With the help of best fit results we find the adiabatic sound speed remains positive throughout the cosmic evolution, that claims the stability of the model. The flipping of the signature of deceleration parameter at the value of scale factor $a=0.5$ indicates that the universe is at the stage of acceleration i.e. de Sitter phase of the universe at late time. Our model shows that the acceleration of the universe begin at redshift $z_{ace}\approx 0.617$ and the model is also consistent with the current observational data.

Noncommutative black hole in the Finslerian spacetime

We study the behavior of the noncommutative radiating Schwarzschild black hole in the Finslerian spacetime. The investigation shows that black hole possesses either (i) two horizons, or (ii) a single horizon, or (iii) no horizon corresponding to a minimal mass. We obtain that the minimal mass significantly changes with the Finslerian parameter, keeping minimal horizon remain unchanged. It turns out that under Finslerian spacetime, the maximum temperature before cooling down to absolute zero varies with Finslerian parameter. We then study the stability of the black hole by analyzing the specific heat and free energy. The energy conditions, their violation limit also scrutinized. Our findings suggest a stable black hole remnant, whose mass and size are uniquely determined in terms of the Finslerian parameter $\overline{Ric}$ and noncommutative parameter $θ$. The physical relevance of these results are discussed in a brief.

Constraining values of bag constant for strange star candidates

We provide a strange star model under the framework of general relativity by using a general linear equation of state (EOS). The solution set thus obtained is employed on altogether 20 compact star candidates to constraint values of MIT bag model. No specific value of the bag constant ($B$) a-priori is assumed rather possible range of values for bag constant is determined from observational data of the said set of compact stars. To do so the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff (TOV) equation is solved by homotopy perturbation method (HPM) and hence we get a mass function for the stellar system. The solution to the Einstein field equations represents a non-singular, causal and stable stellar structure which can be related to strange stars. Eventually we get an interesting result on the range of the bag constant as 41.58~MeV~fm$^{-3}< B <$319.31~MeV~fm$^{-3}$. We have found the maximum surface redshift $Z^{max}_{s}=0.63$ and shown that the central redshift ($Z_c$) can not have value larger than $2k$, where $k=2.010789 \pm 0.073203$. Also we provide a possible value of bag constant for neutron star (NS) with quark core using hadronic as well as quark EOS.

Anisotropic strange star in Finsler geometry

In the present paper, we report on a study of the anisotropic strange stars under Finsler geometry. Keeping in mind that Finsler spacetime is not merely a generalization of Riemannian geometry rather the main idea is the projectivized tangent bundle of the manifold $\mathpzc{M}$, we have developed the respective field equations. Thereafter, we consider the strange quark distribution inside the stellar system followed by the MIT bag model equation of state (EOS). To find out the stability and also the physical acceptability of the stellar configuration, we perform in detail some basic physical tests of the proposed model. The results of the testing show that the system is consistent with the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff (TOV) equation, Herrera cracking concept, different energy conditions and adiabatic index. One important result that we observe is that the anisotropic stress reaches to the maximum at the surface of the stellar configuration. We calculate (i) the maximum mass as well as corresponding radius, (ii) the central density of the strange stars for finite values of bag constant $B_g$ and (iii) the fractional binding energy of the system. This study shows that Finsler geometry is especially suitable to explain massive stellar systems.

Charged anisotropic strange stars in Finslerian geometry

We investigate a simplified model for the strange stars in the framework of Finslerian spacetime geometry, composed of charged fluid. It is considered that the fluid consisting of three flavor quarks including a small amount of non-interacting electrons to maintain the chemical equilibrium and assumed that the fluid is compressible by nature. To obtain the simplified form of charged strange star we considered constant flag curvature. Based on geometry, we have developed the field equations within the localized charge distribution. We considered that the strange quarks distributed within the stellar system are compiled with the MIT bag model type of equation of state (EOS) and the charge distribution within the system follows a power law. We represent the exterior spacetime by the Finslerian Ressiner-Nordstr{ö}m space-time. The maximum anisotropic stress is obtained at the surface of the system. Whether the system is in equilibrium or not, has been examined with respect to the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff (TOV) equation, Herrera cracking concept, different energy conditions and adiabatic index. We obtain that the total charge is of the order of 10$^{20}$ C and the corresponding electric field is of around 10$^{22}$ V/m. The central density and central pressure vary inversely with the charge. Varying the free parameter (charge constant) of the model, we find the generalized mass-radius variation of strange stars and determine the maximum limited mass with the corresponding radius. Furthermore, we also considered the variation of mass and radius against central density respectively.

Strange stars in Krori-Barua space-time under f(R; T) gravity

In the present work, we study about highly dense compact stars which are made of quarks, specially strange quarks, adopting the Krori-Barua (KB)~\cite{Krori1975} metric in the framework of $f(R,T)$ gravity. The equation of state (EOS) of a strange star can be represented by the MIT bag model as $p_r(r)=\frac{1}{3}[ρ(r)-4B_g]$ where $B_g$ is the bag constant, arises due to the quark pressure. Main motive behind our study is to find out singularity free and physically acceptable solutions for different features of strange stars. Here we also investigate the effect of alternative gravity in the formation of strange stars. We find that our model is consistent with various energy conditions and also satisfies Herrera's cracking condition, TOV equation, static stability criteria of Harrison-Zel$'$dovich-Novikov etc. The value of the adiabatic indices as well as the EOS parameters re-establish the acceptability of our model. Here in detail we have studied specifically three different strange star candidates, viz. $PSRJ~1614~2230, Vela~X-1$ and $Cen~X-3$. As a whole, present model fulfils all the criteria for stability. Another fascinating point we have discussed is the value of the bag constant which lies in the range $(40-45)$~MeV/fm$^{3}$. This is quite smaller than the predicted range, i.e., $(55-75)$~MeV/fm$^{3}$ ~\cite{Farhi1984,Alcock1986}. The presence of the constant ($χ$), arises due to the coupling between matter and geometry, is responsible behind this reduction in $B_g$ value. For $χ=0$, we get the higher value for $B_g$ as the above mentioned predicted range.

Gravastars with higher dimensional spacetimes

We present a new model of gravastar in the higher dimensional Einsteinian spacetime including Einstein's cosmological constant $Λ$. Following Mazur and Mottola (2001,~2004) we obtain a set of solutions for gravastar. This gravastar is described by three different regions, namely, (I) Interior region, (II) Intermediate thin spherical shell and (III) Exterior region. The pressure within the interior region is equal to the negative matter density which provides a repulsive force over the shell. This thin shell is formed by ultra relativistic plasma, where the pressure is directly proportional to the matter-energy density which does counter balance the repulsive force from the interior whereas the exterior region is completely vacuum assumed to be de Sitter spacetime which can be described by the generalized Schwarzschild solution. With this specification we find out a set of exact and non-singular solutions of the gravastar which seems physically very interesting and reasonable.

Strange stars in $f(R,\mathcal{T})$ gravity

In this article we try to present spherically symmetric isotropic strange star model under the framework of $f(R,\mathcal{T})$ theory of gravity. To this end, we consider that the Lagrangian density is an arbitrary linear function of the Ricci scalar $R$ and the trace of the energy momentum tensor~$\mathcal{T}$ given as $f\left(R,\mathcal{T}\right)=R+2χT$. We also assume that the quark matter distribution is governed by the simplest form of the MIT bag model equation of state (EOS) as $p=\frac{1}{3}\left(ρ-4B\right)$, where $B$ is the bag constant. We have obtained an exact solution of the modified form of the the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff (TOV) equation in the framework of $f(R,\mathcal{T})$ gravity theory and studied the dependence of different physical properties, viz., total mass, radius, energy density and pressure on the chosen values of $χ$. Further, to examine physical acceptability of the proposed stellar model in detail, we conducted different tests, viz. energy conditions, modified TOV equation, mass-radius relation, causality condition etc. We have precisely explained the effects arising due to the coupling of the matter and geometry on the compact stellar system. For a chosen value of the Bag constant we have predicted numerical values of different physical parameters in tabular format for the different strange stars. It is found that as the factor $χ$ increases the strange stars shrink gradually and become less massive to turn into a more compact stellar system. The maximum mass point is well within the observational limits and hence our proposed model is suitable to explain the ultra dense compact stars. For $χ=0$ we retrieve as usual the standard results of general relativity (GR).

Anisotropic strange stars under simplest minimal matter-geometry coupling in the $f(R,\mathcal{T})$ gravity

We study strange stars in the framework of $f\left(R,\mathcal{T}\right)$ theory of gravity where the strange quark matter distribution inside the stellar system is governed by the phenomenological MIT Bag model equation of state (EOS). Further, for a specific value of $B$ and observed values of mass of the strange star candidates we obtain the exact solution of the modified Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff (TOV) equation in the framework of $f\left(R,\mathcal{T}\right)$ gravity and have studied in detail the dependence of the different physical parameters due to the chosen different values of $χ$. To check the physical acceptability and stability of the stellar system based on the obtained solutions we have performed different physical tests, viz., the energy conditions, Herrera cracking concept, adiabatic index etc. In this work, we also have explained the effects, those are arising due to the interaction between the matter and the curvature terms in $f\left(R,\mathcal{T}\right)$ gravity, on the anisotropic compact stellar system. It is interesting to note that as the values of $χ$ increase the strange stars become more massive and their radius increase gradually so that eventually they gradually turn into less dense compact objects. The present study reveals that the modified $f\left(R,\mathcal{T}\right)$ gravity is a suitable theory to explain massive stellar systems like recent magnetars, massive pulsars and super-Chandrasekhar stars, which can not be explained in the framework of GR. However, for $χ=0$ the standard results of Einsteinian gravity are retrieved.

Anisotropic strange stars in the Einstein-Maxwell spacetime

We present here a detailed analysis on the effects of charge on the anisotropic strange star candidates by considering a spherically symmetric interior spacetime metric. To obtain exact solution of the Einstein-Maxwell field equations we have considered the anisotropic strange quark matter (SQM) distribution governed by the simplified MIT bag equation of state (EOS), $p=\frac{1}{3}\left( ρ-4\,B \right)$, where $B$ is the bag constant and the distribution of the electrical charge is given as $q(r)=Q\left({r}/{R}\right)^3=α{r^3}$, where $α$ is a constant. To this end, to calculate different constants we have described the exterior spacetime by the Reissner-Nordstr{ö}m metric. By using the values of the observed mass for the different strange star candidates we have maximized anisotropic stress at the surface to predict the exact values of the radius for the different values of $α$ and a specific value of the bag constant. Further, we perform different tests to study the physical validity and the stability of the proposed stellar model. We found accumulation of the electric charge distribution is maximum at the surface having electric charge of the order ${{10}^{20}}~C$ and electric field of the order ${10}^{21-22}~V/cm$. To study the different physical parameters and the effects of charge on the anisotropic stellar system we have presented our analysis graphically and in the tabular format by considering $LMC~X-4$ as the representative of the strange star candidates.

Exact Radiation Model For Perfect Fluid Under Maximum Entropy Principle

We find the Euler-Lagrangian equation by maximising the total entropy. Hence we obtain an expression for mass of the spherically symmetric system by solving the Euler-Lagrangian equation where the Homotopy Perturbation Method has been employed. With the help of this expression and the Einstein field equations we obtain an interior solution set. Thereafter, we explain different aspects of the solution describing the system in connection to the mass, density, pressures, energy, stability, mass-radius ratio, compactness factor and surface redshift. This analysis shows that all the physical properties, in connection to brown dwarf stars, are valid with the observed features.

Relativistic model for anisotropic strange stars

In this article, we attempt to find a singularity free solution of Einstein's field equations for compact stellar objects, precisely strange (quark) stars, considering Schwarzschild metric as the exterior spacetime. To this end, we consider that the stellar object is spherically symmetric, static and anisotropic in nature and follows the density profile given by Mak and Harko (2002), which satisfies all the physical conditions. To investigate different properties of the ultra-dense strange stars we have employed the MIT bag model for the quark matter. Our investigation displays an interesting feature that the anisotropy of compact stars increases with the radial coordinate and attains its maximum value at the surface which seems an inherent property for the singularity free anisotropic compact stellar objects. In this connection we also perform several tests for physical features of the proposed model and show that these are reasonably acceptable within certain range. Further, we find that the model is consistent with the energy conditions and the compact stellar structure is stable with the validity of the TOV equation and Herrera cracking concept. For the masses bellow the maximum mass point in mass vs radius curve the typical behavior achieved within the framework of general relativity. We have calculated the maximum mass and radius of the strange stars for the three finite values of bag constant $B_g$.

Gravastars in $f(R,\mathcal{T})$ gravity

We propose a unique stellar model under the $f(R,\mathcal{T})$ gravity by using the conjecture of Mazur-Mottola [P. Mazur and E. Mottola, Report number: LA-UR-01-5067., P. Mazur and E. Mottola, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 101, 9545 (2004)] which is known as gravastar and a viable alternative to the black hole as available in literature. This gravastar is described by the three different regions, viz., (I) Interior core region, (II) Intermediate thin shell, and (III) Exterior spherical region. The pressure within the interior region is equal to the constant negative matter density which provides a repulsive force over the thin spherical shell. This thin shell is assumed to be formed by a fluid of ultra relativistic plasma and the pressure, which is directly proportional to the matter-energy density according to Zel'dovich's conjecture of stiff fluid [Y.B. Zel'dovich, Mon. Not. R. Astron. Soc. 160, 1 (1972)], does counter balance the repulsive force exerted by the interior core region. The exterior spherical region is completely vacuum and assumed to be de Sitter spacetime which can be described by the Schwarzschild solution. Under this specification we find out a set of exact and singularity-free solution of the collapsing star which presents several other physically valid features within the framework of alternative gravity.

Compact star in pseudo-spheroidal spacetime

We investigate perfect fluid stars in $(2+1)$ dimension in pseudo spheroidal spacetime with the help of Vaidya-Tikekar metric where the physical $3$-space ($t=$ constant) is described by pseudo-spheroidal geometry. Here the spheroidicity parameter $a$, plays an important role for determining the properties of a compact star. In the present work a class of interior solutions corresponding to the Ba$\tilde{n}$ados-Teitelboim-Zanelli $(BTZ)$ (Bañados et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 69:1849, 1992) exterior metric has been provided which describes a static circularly symmetric star with negative cosmological constant in equilibrium. It is shown that asymptotically anti-de Sitter $(2+1)$ dimensional spacetime described by BTZ admits a compact star solution with reasonable physical features.

On the features of Matese-Whitman mass function

In the present paper we exhaustively examine the physical status of the socalled Matese-Whitman mass function [J.J. Matese and P.G. Whitman, Phys. Rev. D, 22, 1270 (1980)]. As a first step, we construct the relevant Einstein field equations with an anisotropic matter distribution under the approach of Conformal killing Vector. In the intermideate step we find a set of exact solutions by using the Matese-Whitman mass function. Eventually we conduct several physical tests to explore features of the applied mass function in connection to the specific compact stars. It can be observed that all the features of the model based on the Matese-Whitman mass function are of physical interests.
