Stability of realistic stellar objects in f(R,T) gravity with anisotropic matter configuration

Abstract

In this paper, we have obtained a new class of solutions of modified field equations (FEqs) in [Formula: see text] gravity with barotropic equation of state (EoS) i.e. [Formula: see text]. For this purpose, we assume spherically symmetric metric with anisotropic matter distribution and formulated the FEqs. We apply Durgapal transformation and choose suitable gravitational potential to solve the dynamical equations numerically. By varying parametric values [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] (appearing in gravitational potential), we generate special cases of solutions. We plot physical quantities like energy density, anisotropy parameter, radial and tangential pressures in all particular cases. It is concluded that all the plots hold physical acceptability criteria and show consistency which admits modified [Formula: see text] gravity for compact star models.
