Comprehensive analysis of relativistic embedded class-I exponential compact spheres in f(R, ϕ) gravity via Karmarkar condition

Abstract

In this article, we use the prominent Karmarkar condition to investigate some novel features of astronomical objects in the f(R, ϕ) gravity; R and ϕ represent the Ricci curvature and the scalar field, respectively. It is worth noting that we classify the exclusive set of modified field equations using the exponential type model of the f(R, ϕ) theory of gravity f(R, ϕ) = ϕ(R + α(e β R − 1)). We show the embedded class-I approach via a static, spherically symmetric spacetime with an anisotropic distribution. To accomplish our objective, we use a particular interpretation of metric potential (g rr ) that has already been given in the literature and then presume the Karmarkar condition to derive the second metric potential. We employ distinct compact stars to determine the values of unknown parameters emerging in metric potentials. To ensure the viability and consistency of our exponential model, we execute distinct physical evolutions, i.e. the graphical structure of energy density and pressure evolution, mass function, adiabatic index, stability, equilibrium, and energy conditions. Our investigation reveals that the observed anisotropic findings are physically appropriate and have the highest level of precision.
