A class of solutions of Einstein field equations satisfying Karmarkar embedding condition is presented which could describe static, spherical fluid configurations, and could serve as models for compact stars. The fluid under consideration has unequal principal stresses i.e. fluid is locally anisotropic. A certain physically motivated geometry of metric potential has been chosen and codependency of the metric potentials outlines the formation of the model. The exterior spacetime is assumed as described by the exterior Schwarzschild solution. The smooth matching of the interior to the exterior Schwarzschild spacetime metric across the boundary and the condition that radial pressure is zero across the boundary lead us to determine the model parameters. Physical requirements and stability analysis of the model demanded for a physically realistic star are satisfied. The developed model has been investigated graphically by exploring data from some of the known compact objects. The mass-radius (M-R) relationship that shows the maximum mass admissible for observed pulsars for a given surface density has also been investigated. Moreover, the physical profile of the moment of inertia (I) thus obtained from the solutions is confirmed by the Bejger-Haensel concept.
This paper investigates the existence and properties of anisotropic strange quark stars in the context of massive Brans-Dicke theory. The field equations are constructed in Jordan frame by assuming a suitable potential function with MIT bag model. We employ the embedding class-one approach as well as junction conditions to determine the unknown metric functions. Radius of the strange star candidate, LMC X-4, is predicted through its observed mass for different values of the bag constant. We analyze the effects of coupling parameter as well as mass of scalar field on state determinants and exec…
A new class of solutions describing analytical solutions for compact stellar structures has been developed within the tenets of General Relativity. Considering the inherent anisotropy in compact stars, a stable and causal model for realistic anisotropic neutron stars was obtained using the general theory of relativity. Assuming a physically acceptable non-singular form of one metric potential and radial pressure containing the curvature parameter $R$, the constant $k$, and the radius $r$, analytical solutions to Einstein's field equations for anisotropic matter distribution were obtained. Taki…
The manifesto of the current article is to investigate the compact anisotropic matter profiles in the context of one of the modified gravitational theories, known as $f(\mathcal{R}, \mathcal{T})$ gravity, where $\mathcal{R}$ is a Ricci Scalar and $\mathcal{T}$ is the trace of the energy-momentum tensor. To achieve the desired goal, we capitalized on the spherical symmetric space-time and utilized the embedding class-1 solution via Karmarkar's condition in modeling the matter profiles. To calculate the unidentified constraints, Schwarzschild exterior solution along with experimental statistics …
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 regular…
This paper is devoted to studying anisotropic compact stellar structures by adopting embedding class-1 technique in the background of modified Gauss-Bonnet gravity. The unknown constants are evaluated by the matching of interior spacetime with the Schwarzschild exterior geometry corresponding to $f(\mathcal{G})=χ\mathcal{G}^{n}$ model, where $χ$ and $n$ are positive constants. The observed masses of compact star candidates (SAX J1808.4-3658, Vela X-1, PSR J0348+0432, 4U 1608-52) are used with the condition of vanishing radial pressure at the stellar surface to predict their radii. We have exam…
In this work we study class I interior solutions supported by anisotropic polytropes. The generalized Lane--Emden equation compatible with the embedding condition is obtained and solved for a different set of parameters in both the isothermal and non--isothermal regimes. For completeness, the Tolman mass is computed and analysed to some extend. As a complementary study we consider the impact of the Karmarkar condition on the mass and the Tolman mass functions respectively. Comparison with other results in literature are discussed.
We calculate the exact solutions to the equations of motion that govern the light ray trajectories as they travel in a Kerr black hole's exterior that is considered to be filled with an inhomogeneous and anisotropic plasmic medium. This is approached by characterizing the plasma through conceiving a radial and an angular structure function, which are let to be constant. The description of the motion is carried out by using the Hamilton-Jacobi method, that allows defining two effective potentials, characterizing the evolution of the polar coordinates. The elliptic integrals of motion are then s…
Light propagation around a Kerr-like black hole immersed in an inhomogeneous anisotropic plasma in Rastall gravity: Analytical solutions to the equations of motion
The properties of exotic stars are investigated. In particular, we study objects made entirely of dark matter and we take into account intrinsic anisotropies which have been ignored so far. We obtain exact analytical solutions to the structure equations and we we show that those solutions i) are well behaved within General Relativity, and ii) are capable of describing realistic astrophysical configurations.
