Abstract
We study a compact star comprising strange matter content in the presence of pressure anisotropy. Considering strange matter with equation of state p = (ρ-4B)/3, where B is Bag parameter, we analyze the effect of pressure anisotropy on the Bag parameter for a compact star described by Vaidya–Tikekar metric. The values of B inside and on surface of the star are determined for different anisotropy parameter α. It is found that in the vicinity of the center of a compact star, B parameter is almost constant. However, away from the center B varies with the radial distance and finally at the surface B attains a value independent of the anisotropy. It is also noted that for some values of α, B remains constant throughout the star. Given α and spheriodicity a, B is found to be decreasing with the increase in compactness factor. The models admitting B increasing with α for a given spheriodicity parameter (a) and compactness are also found.
