Abstract
We investigate the structure of quark stars in de Rham–Gabadadze–Tolley like massive gravity with an anisotropic matter source. The MIT bag model as the equation of state for compact stars is used to numerically solve the modified Tolman–Oppenheimer–Volkoff equation. We analyze the effects of bag constant, anisotropy parameter and massive gravity parameters on the structure of quark stars. The results show that the mass and radius of the quark star depend on these parameters significantly, and the maximum mass can satisfy the observational data for the massive pulsar PSR J0348+0432. Furthermore, we also discuss other properties of quark stars, including dynamical stability, Schwarzschild radius and compactness.
