Role of theory on charged compact stars

Abstract

The main purpose of this paper is to examine the viable attributes of charged compact stellar objects with anisotropic matter configuration in the framework of theory. For this purpose, we use Tolman V solution and consider a specific functional form of this modified theory to examine the geometry of compact stars. The values of unknown parameters are found by the smooth matching of interior (static spherical metric) and exterior (modified Reissner-Nordstrom metric) spacetimes. We investigate the behavior of effective matter variables, anisotropy, equation of state parameters and energy bounds in the interior of the charged stellar objects. The stability of the compact stars is examined by speed of sound and adiabatic index. We find that the considered stars are viable as well as stable with all the required conditions in this modified theory of gravity.
