Abstract

By constructing models of quark stars (QSs), we use the MIT bag model as a strange quark matter equation of state (EoS). According to the strange matter hypothesis, the MIT bag model is the most successful phenomenological models of quarks confined to hadrons. This paper aims to explore the internal structure and the physical properties of QSs in the context of four-dimensional (4D) Einstein–Gauss–Bonnet (EGB) theory of gravity. The main feature of 4D EGB theory is that there is a nontrivial contribution to the gravitational dynamics in 4D spacetime. We present the essential features of QSs concerning the mass-radius relation depending on the interplay of matter parameters and the GB coupling constant. Our results show that all studied cases are found to be consistent with observations and physically relevant.
