Kantowski Sachs macroscopic body cosmological models in scalar tensor theories of gravitation

Abstract

In this paper, we have obtained the field equations in scalar-tensor theories of gravitation proposed by Brans-Dicke [5] and Saez-Ballester [28] with the aid of Kantowski Sachs Space time in the presence of macroscopic body. Both theories' field equations can be solved definitively by using transformation. The present discussion explores into the expression involving energy density, energy flow vector, stress tensor, and specific physical features of both of these models.
