Gravitationally decoupled strange star model beyond standard maximum mass limit in Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity

The recent theoretical advance known as the Minimal Geometric Deformation (MGD) method has initiated a renewed interest in investigating higher curvature gravitational effects in relativistic astrophysics. In this work, we model a strange star within the context of Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity with the help of the MGD technique. Starting off with the Tolman metric ansatz together with the MIT Bag model equation of state applicable to hadronic matter, anisotropy is introduced via the superposition of the seed source and the decoupled energy-momentum tensor. The solution of the governing systems of equations bifurcates into two distinct models, namely the mimicking of the $θ$ sector to the seed radial pressure and energy density and a regular fluid model. Each of these models can be interpreted as self-gravitating static, compact objects with the exterior described by the vacuum Boulware-Deser solution. Utilizing observational data for three stellar candidates, viz., PSR J1614-2230, PSR J1903+317, and LMC X-4 we subject our solutions to rigorous viability tests based on regularity and stability. We find that the Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet parameter and the decoupling constant compete against each other for ensuring physically realizable stellar structures. The novel feature of work is the demonstration of stable compact objects with stellar masses in excess of $M= 2 M_{\odot}$ without appealing to exotic matter. The analysis contributes new insights and physical consequences concerning the development of ultra-compact astrophysical entities.

Strange stars in the framework of higher curvature gravity

We study the influence of higher curvature effects on stellar structure and conclude that the properties of stars are greatly impacted when such terms are dynamic. In particular the surface gravitational redshift which is connected to the equation of state and also the mass-radius ratio differs greatly from the corresponding values in general relativity as evidenced through our empirical comparisons. A model of a superdense star with strange star equation of state is constructed within the framework of the Einstein--Gauss--Bonnet theory. Under these assumptions large classes of solutions are admitted by the field equations. We isolate a particular class with the ansatz of the Vaidya--Tikekar superdense star spatial gravitational potential. The model is found to satisfy elementary requirements for physical applicability and stability. The parameter values chosen are consistent with observed star models. A significant effect of the higher curvature terms is to reduce the speed of sound and to drastically reduce the values of the surface gravitational redshift compared to the Einstein counterpart. These latter results have implications for interpretations of observations in relativistic astrophysics which are often made against the background of the standard general theory of relativity.

Lyapunov exponent ISCO and Kolmogorov Senai entropy for Kerr Kiselev black hole

Geodesic motion has significant characteristics of space-time. We calculate the principle Lyapunov exponent (LE), which is the inverse of the instability timescale associated with this geodesics and Kolmogorov-Senai (KS) entropy for our rotating Kerr-Kiselev (KK) black hole. We have investigate the existence of stable/unstable equatorial circular orbits via LE and KS entropy for time-like and null circular geodesics. We have shown that both LE and KS entropy can be written in terms of the radial equation of innermost stable circular orbit (ISCO) for time-like circular orbit. Also, we computed the equation marginally bound circular orbit, which gives the radius (smallest real root) of marginally bound circular orbit (MBCO). We found that the null circular geodesics has larger angular frequency than time-like circular geodesics ($Q_o > Q_σ$). Thus, null-circular geodesics provides the fastest way to circulate KK black holes. Further, it is also to be noted that null circular geodesics has shortest orbital period $(T_{photon}< T_{ISCO})$ among the all possible circular geodesics. Even null circular geodesics traverses fastest than any stable time-like circular geodesics other than the ISCO.

Color-flavor locked quark stars in energy-momentum squared gravity

Several attempts have been made in the past decades to search for the true ground state of the dense matter at sufficiently large densities and low temperatures via compact astrophysical objects. Focusing on strange stars, we derive the hydrostatic equilibrium assuming a maximally symmetric phase of homogeneous superconducting quark matter called the \textit{color-flavor-locked} (CFL) phase in the background of energy-momentum squared gravity (EMSG). Theoretical and experimental investigations show that strange quark matter (SQM) in a CFL state can be the true ground state of hadronic matter at least for asymptotic densities, and even if the unequal quark masses. Motivated by these theoretical models, we explore the structure of stellar objects in recently proposed EMSG, which allows a correction term $T_{μν}T^{μν}$ in the action functional of the theory. Interestingly, EMSG may be effective to resolve the problems at high energy densities, e.g., relevant to the early universe and dense compact astrophysical objects without invoking some new forms of fluid stress, such as bulk viscosity or scalar fields. Finally, we solve the complicated field equations numerically to obtain the mass-radius relations for strange stars in CFL equation of state.

Charged anisotropic strange stars in Brans-Dicke gravity with a massive scalar field through embedding approach

In this exposition, we seek solutions of the Einstein-Maxwell field equations in the presence of a massive scalar field cast in the Brans-Dicke (BD) formalism which describes charged anisotropic strange stars. The interior spacetime is described by a spherically symmetric static metric of embedding class I. This reduces the problem to a single-generating function of the metric potential which is chosen by appealing to physics based on regularity at each interior point of the stellar interior. The resulting model is subjected to rigorous physical checks based on stability, causality and regularity. We show that our solutions describe compact objects such as PSR J1903+327; Cen X-3; EXO 1785-248 \& LMC X-4 to an excellent approximation. Novel results of our investigation reveal that the scalar field leads to higher surface charge densities which in turn affects the compactness and upper and lower values imposed by the modified Buchdahl limit for charged stars. Our results also show that the electric and scalar fields which originate from entirely different sources couple to alter physical characteristics such as mass-radius relation and surface redshift of compact objects. This superposition of the electric and scalar fields is enhanced by an increase in the BD coupling constant, $ω_{BD}$.

Conformally symmetric traversable wormholes in $f(R,T)$ gravity

To find more deliberate $f(R, T)$ astrophysical solutions, we proceed by studying wormhole geometries under the assumption of spherical symmetry and the existence of a conformal Killing symmetry to attain the more acceptable astrophysical results. To do this, we consider a more plausible and simple model $f(R,T)=R+2χT$, where $R$ is the Ricci scalar and $T= -ρ+p_r+2p_t$ denotes the trace of the energy-momentum tensor of the matter content. We explore and analyze two cases separately. In the first part, wormhole solutions are constructed for the matter sources with isotropic pressure. However, the obtained solution does not satisfy the required wormhole conditions. In the second part, we introduce an EoS relating with pressure (radial and lateral) and density. We constrain the models with phantom energy EoS i.e. $ω= p_r/ ρ< -1$, consequently violating the null energy condition. Next, we analyze the model via $p_t= n p_r $. Several physical properties and characteristics of these solutions are investigated which are consistent with previous references about wormholes. We mainly focus on energy conditions (NEC, WEC and SEC) and consequently for supporting the respective wormhole geometries in details. In both cases it is found that the energy density is positive as seen by any static observer. To support the theoretical results, we also plotted several figures for different parameter values of the model that helps us to confirm the predictions. Finally, the volume integral quantifier, which provides useful information about the total amount of exotic matter required to maintain a traversable wormhole is discussed briefly.

Tolman IV fluid sphere in bigravity

We present Tolman IV spacetime representing compact fluid sphere in bigravity. Here we have explored the effect of scale parameter $k$ in the local matter distribution of compact stars. We have model for three well-known compact stars and it shows that for lower values of $k$ leads to stiffer EoS. This claim is also supported by the graphical analysis. It can be observed that the sound speed and the adiabatic index are more for lower values of $k$. It is also seen that all the solutions of Einstein's field equations are still satisfying the field equations in the presence of a background metric $γ_{μν}$. However, the density and pressure does modified by extra term from the constant curvature background, thus affecting the EoS. One can also think that the parameter $α\equiv 1/k^2$ as coupling constant between the $g_{μν}$ and $γ_{μν}$ and consequently more the coupling stiffer is the EoS. As $k\rightarrow \infty$, the background de-Sitter spacetime reduces to Minkowski's spacetime and the coupling vanishes. The solution satisfy the causality condition, all the energy conditions and equilibrium under gravity and hydrostatic forces. The stability of the local stellar structure is enhanced by reducing the scalar curvature of the background spacetime.

Color flavor locked strange stars in 4D Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity

This work is devoted on the recently introduced Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity in four dimensions. The theory can bypass the Lovelock's theorem and avoids Ostrogradsky instability. The integrated part of this theory is the GB term gives rise to a non-trivial contribution to the gravitational dynamics in the limit $D \to 4$. Our main interest is to explore a class of static and spherically symmetric compact objects made of strange matter in the color flavor locked (CFL) phase, in which all three quark flavors participate to pairing symmetrically. It is therefore natural to ask for compact objects in 4$D$ EGB gravity since, compact stars signatures may be the test-bed to compare new models to the Einstein gravity; on the other hand, this could shed new light on the possible presence of CFL phase in compact stars. This feature may be relevant in view of recent observations claiming the existence of stable compact \emph{quark} stars (hybrid neutron stars or strange stars).

Compact stars with exotic matter

In this paper we employ Tolman VII solution with exotic matter that may be present in the extremely dense core of compact objects. The Tolman VII solution, an exact analytic solution to the spherically symmetric, static Einstein field equations with a perfect fluid source, has many characteristics that make it interesting for modeling high density stellar astronomical objects. For our purpose we use generalized non-linear equation of state which may incorporate exotic matter along with dust, radiation and dark energy. The equation of state (EoS) has a linear contribution comprising quark/radiation matters and a nonlinear contribution comprising dark energy/exotic matters. The amount of exotic matter contain can be modify by a parameter $n$ which can be linked to adiabatic index. As $n$ increases the exotic contribution increases which stiffens the EoS. The physical properties of the model such as pressure, density, mass function, surface redshift, gravitational redshift are examined and the stability of the stellar configuration is discussed in details. The model has promising features as it satisfies all energy conditions and is free from central singularities. The $M-R$ relation is constructed analytically and the maximum mass and its corresponding radius is determined using the exact solutions and is shown to satisfy various observational stellar compact stars.

Conformally symmetric traversable wormholes in modified teleparallel gravity

In this paper, we consider wormhole geometries in the context of teleparallel equivalent of general relativity (TEGR) as well as $f(T)$ gravity. The TEGR is an alternative geometrical formulation of Einstein's general relativity, where modified teleparallel gravity or $f(T)$ gravity has been invoked as an alternative approach for explaining an accelerated expansion of the universe. We present the analytical solutions under the assumption of spherical symmetry and the existence of a conformal Killing vectors to proceed a more systematic approach in searching for exact wormhole solutions. More preciously, the existence of a conformal symmetry places restrictions on the model. Considering the field equations with a diagonal tetrad and anisotropic distribution of the fluid, we study the properties of traversable wormholes in TEGR that violates the weak and the null energy conditions at the throat and its vicinity. In the second part, wormhole solutions are constructed in the framework of $f(T)$ gravity, where $T$ represents torsion scalar. As a consistency check, we also discuss the behavior of energy conditions with a viable power-law $f(T)$ model and the corresponding shape functions. In addition, a wide variety of solutions are deduced by considering a linear equation of state relating the density and pressure, for the isotropic and anisotropic pressure, independently of the shape functions, and various phantom wormhole geometries are explored.

A gravitational decoupling MGD model in modified $f(R,T)$ gravity theory

The present paper is devoted to investigating the possibility of getting stellar interiors for ultra-dense compact spherical systems portraying an anisotropic matter distribution employing the gravitational decoupling by means of Minimal Geometric Deformation (MGD) procedure within the modified theory of f(R,T) gravity. According to this theory, the covariant divergence of stress-energy tensor does not vanish, hence the movement of classical particles does not follow geodesics resulting in an extra acceleration which suffices the late-time acceleration of the universe without adopting to exotic matter fields. In this regard, we have considered the algebraic function as f(R, {\rm T})= R+2χT, the corresponding effective stress-energy tensor is conserved as well as the exact solutions are derived, where $χ$ indicates a coupling constant. Moreover, the physical quantities associated with the new solutions are well-behaved from the physical and mathematical point of view as well as free of geometrical singularities, violation of the causality condition, non-decreasing thermodynamic functions. Thereafter, the physical viability of the obtained model is affirmed by performing several physical tests of the main salient features such as energy density, radial, and tangential pressure, anisotropy effect, dynamical equilibrium, energy conditions, and dynamical stability. On the other hand, we have generated the M-R curves from our solutions in the four different scenarios, including GR, GR+MGD, f(R,T) and f(R,T)+MGD, and we found a perfect fit for many compact spherical objects in these scenarios by changing the gravitational decoupling constant αand the coupling constant χas free parameters. The present study reveals that the modified f(R,T) gravity through gravitational decoupling by means of MGD method is a suitable theory to explain compact stellar spherical systems....

Exploring physical properties of compact stars in $f(R,T)-$gravity: An embedding approach

Solving field equations exactly in $f(R,T)$ gravity is one of the difficult task. To do so, many authors have adopted different methods such as assuming both the metric functions, an equation of state (EoS) and a metric function etc. However, such methods may not always lead to well-behaved solutions and thereby rejection of the solutions may happen after complete calculations. Indeed, very recent works on embedding class one methods suggested that the chances of arriving at the well behaved-solution is very high thereby inspired us to used it. In class one approach, we have to ansatz one of the metric potentials and the other can be obtain from the Karmarkar condition. In this paper, we are proposing new class one solution which is well-behaved in all physical points of view. We have analyzed the nature of the solution by tuning the $f(R,T)-$coupling parameter $χ$ and found that the solution results into stiffer EoS for $χ=-1$ than $χ=1$. This is because for lesser values of $χ$, velocity of sound is more, higher $M_{max}$ in $M-R$ curve and the EoS parameter $ω$ is larger. The solution satisfy the causality condition, energy conditions, stable and static under radial perturbations (static stability criterion) and in equilibrium (modified TOV-equation). The resulting $M-R$ diagram from this solution is well fitted with observed values of few compact stars such as PSR J1614-2230, Vela X-1, Cen X-3 and SAX J1808.4-3658. Therefore, for different values of $χ$, we have predicted the corresponding radii and their respective moment of inertia from the $M-I$ curve.

Einstein's cluster mimicking compact star in the teleparallel equivalent of general relativity

We present a physically plausible solution representing Einstein's cluster mimicking the behaviors of compact star in the context of teleparallel equivalent of general relativity. The Teleparallel gravity (TEGR) is an alternative formulation of gravity which uses tetrads as the dynamical variables. We focus on two particularly interesting scenarios. First, we develop the Einstein clusters in TEGR field equations using effective energy-momentum tensor for diagonal as well as off-diagonal tetrad. We then study the clusters in modified $f(T)-$gravity for anisotropic fluid distribution. Based on these two theories, we further study the solution without net electric charge and then for charged solution. For charge parameter $k \rightarrow 0$, the charged solution reduces to neutral one. Our calculations show that when charge increases, the stiffness of the EoS also increases. This is due to increase in adiabatic index and sound speed approaching speed of light. When the charge increase beyond a certain limit ($0\le k \le 1.3 \times 10^{-5}$ and $0\le k \le 1 \times 10^{-6}$), the compactness parameter crosses the Buchdahl limit i.e. $2M/R>8/9$ and the solution start violating the causality condition. We test the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff (TOV) limit for such compact objects. We analyze the static stability criterion of the Einstein clusters for both charged and uncharged case, and the stability of such compact objects is enhanced by the presence some net electric charge. Finally, we compare our solution for pure general relativity. As a result, we concluded that the Einstein cluster solution do exist in pure GR, however, physically unfit to mimic compact stars. We have also extend our findings by assuming the diagonal or off-diagonal tetrad and specific case of $f(T)$. In such models, Einstein's cluster solutions do exist however can't mimic the properties of a compact star.

Compact star in Tolman Kuchowicz spacetime in background of Einstein Gauss Bonnet gravity

The present work is devoted to the study of anisotropic compact matter distributions within the framework of 5-dimensional Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity. To solve the field equations, we have considered that the inner geometry is described by Tolman-Kuchowicz spacetime. The Gauss-Bonnet Lagrangian is coupled to Einstein-Hilbert action through a coupling constant. When this coupling tends to zero general relativity results are recovered. We analyze the effect of this parameter on the principal salient features of the model, such as energy density, radial and tangential pressure and anisotropy factor.Additionally, the behaviour of the subliminal sound speed of the pressure waves in the principal direction of the configuration and the conduct of the energy-momentum tensor throughout the star are analyzed employing causality condition and energy conditions, respectively. All these subjects are supported by mean of physical, mathematical and graphical survey

Generating functions of wormholes

It is known that wormhole geometry could be found solving the Einstein field equations by tolerating the violation of null energy condition (NEC). Violation of NEC is not possible for the physical matter distributions, however, can be achieved by considering distributions of "exotic matter". The main purpose of this work is to find generating functions comprising the wormhole like geometry and discuss the nature of these generating functions. We have used the Herrera et al. \cite{1} approaches of obtaining generating functions in the background of wormhole spacetime. Here we have adopt two approaches of solving the field equations to find wormhole geometry. In the first method, we have assumed the redshift function $f(r)$ and the shape function $b(r)$ and solve for the generating functions. In an another attempt we assume generating functions and redshift functions and then try to find shape functions of the wormholes.

A charged anisotropic well-behaved Adler-Finch-Skea solution Satisfying Karmarkar Condition

In the present article, we discover a new well-behaved charged anisotropic solution of Einstein-Maxwell's field equations. We ansatz the metric potential $g_{00}$ of the form given by Maurya el al. (arXiv:1607.05582v1) with $n=2$. In their article it is mentioned that for $n=2$ the solution is not well-behaved for neutral configuration as the speed of sound is non-decreasing radially outward. However, the solution can represent a physically possible configuration with the inclusion of some net electric charged i.e. the solution can become a well-behaved solution with decreasing sound speed radially outward for a charged configuration. Due to the inclusion of electric charged the solution leads to a very stiff equation of state (EoS) with the velocity of sound at the center $v_{r0}^2=0.819, ~v_{t0}^2=0.923$ and the compactness parameter $u=0.823$ is closed to the Buchdahl limit 0.889. This stiff EoS support a compact star configuration of mass $5.418M_\odot$ and radius of $10.1 km$.

Here we have assumed an arbitrary form of metric function and solved the Einstein relativistic field equations with the help of Karmarkar condition for an anisotropic matter distri- bution. The physical properties of our model such as pressure, density, mass function, surface red-shift, gravitational red-shift are investigated and the stability of the stellar configuration is discussed in details. Our model is free from central singularities and satisfies all energy conditions. The model we present here satisfy the static stability criterion.

Physical viability of fluid spheres satisfying the Karmarkar condition

We obtain a new solution of the TOV-equation for an anisotropic fluid distribution by imposing the Karmarkar condition. In order to close the system of equations we postulate an interesting form for the grr gravitational potential which allows us to solve for gtt metric component via the Karmarkar condition. We demonstrate that the new interior solution has well-behaved physical attributes and can be utilized to model relativistic static fluid spheres. By using observational data sets for the radii and mass-to-radius relations for compact stars such as 4U 1538-52, LMC X-4 and PSR J1614- 2230 we show that our solution describes these objects to a very good degree of accuracy. The physical plausibility of the solution depends on a parameter $c$ for a particular star. For 4U 1538-52 the solution behaves well for $0.1574 \le c \le 0.46$ which corresponds to $1 \ge v^2_{r0} \ge 0:13$, $0.91 \ge v^2_{t0}\ge 0.04$ and $17.8 \ge Γ_0 \ge 3.8$. For LMC X-4 the solution behaves well for $0.1235 \le c \le 0.35$ which corresponds to $0.99 \ge v^2_{r0} \ge 0.15$, $0.91 \ge v^2_{t0}\ge 0.06$ and $15.35 \ge Γ_0 \ge 3.35$. Our model approximates the pulsar PSR J1614-2230 for $0.05 \le c \le 0.13$ which corresponds to $1 \ge v^2_{r0}\ge 0.21$, $0.94 \ge v^2_{t0} \ge 0.13$ and $8.34 \ge Γ_0 \ge 2.34$. Our observations of the behavior of the thermodynamical and physical variables of these compact objects lead us to conclude that the parameter c plays an important role in determining the equation of state of the stellar material. It is apparent that smaller values of c lead to stiffer equation of states and vice-versa.
