Traversable wormhole in logarithmic f(R) gravity by various shape and redshift functions

In this paper, we study the traversable wormhole solutions for a logarithmic corrected [Formula: see text] model by considering two different statements of shape [Formula: see text] and redshift [Formula: see text] functions. We calculate the parameters of the model including energy density [Formula: see text], tangential pressure [Formula: see text] and radial pressure [Formula: see text] for the corresponding forms of the functions. Then, we investigate different energy conditions such as null energy condition, weak energy condition, dominant energy condition and strong energy condition for our considered cases. Finally, we explain the satisfactory conditions of energy of the models by related plots.

A study of anisotropic compact stars in f(R,ϕ,X) theory of gravity

In this paper, we investigate the behavior of anisotropic compact stars in generalized modified gravity, namely [Formula: see text] gravity, where [Formula: see text] represents the Ricci scalar, [Formula: see text] is the scalar potential function and [Formula: see text] is a kinetic term of [Formula: see text]. We consider the spherically symmetric spacetime to analyze the feasible exposure of compact stars. We observe the behavior of anisotropic compact stars which includes Her X1, SAX J 1808.4-3658 and 4U 1820-30. From the graphical evaluation of energy density, tangential pressure, radial pressure, equilibrium conditions, energy conditions, mass–radius relationship, compactness and stability analysis of compact stars, it is concluded that the behavior of candidates of compact stars is regular in [Formula: see text] gravity for the considered parameter.

Chaplygin strange stars in presence of quintessence

Starting from a regular, static and spherically symmetric spacetime, we present a stellar model formed by two sources of ordinary and quintessence matter both with anisotropic pressures. The ordinary matter, with density [Formula: see text], is formed by a fluid with a state equation type Chaplygin [Formula: see text] for the radial pressure. And the quintessence matter, with density [Formula: see text], has a state equation [Formula: see text] for the radial pressure and [Formula: see text] for the tangential pressure with [Formula: see text]. The model satisfies the required conditions to be physically acceptable and additionally the solution is potentially stable, i.e. [Formula: see text] according to the cracking concept, and it also satisfies the Harrison–Zeldovich–Novikov criteria. We describe in a graphic manner the behavior of the solution for the case in which the mass is [Formula: see text] and radius [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]km which matches the star EXO 1785-248, from where we obtain the maximum density [Formula: see text] for the values of the parameters [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text].

Wormhole solutions in f(R) gravity theory for Chaplygin gas scenario

This paper deals with some wormhole solutions which are obtained by taking two different shape functions along with zero tidal force. For obtaining wormhole solutions, anisotropic fluid and a equation of state [Formula: see text] related by Chaplygin gas are considered, where [Formula: see text] is the energy density, [Formula: see text] is tangential pressure and [Formula: see text] is positive constant. Energy conditions are examined for two different models, and it is found that major energy conditions are satisfied in a region.

A generalized anisotropic model for super dense stars

A static anisotropic relativistic fluid sphere model with regular geometry and finite hydrostatic functions is presented. In the interior of the sphere, the density, radial pressure and tangential pressure are positives, monotonically decreasing with increasing radius and the radial pressure vanishes at the surface of the matter distribution and is joined continuously to the exterior Schwarzschild’s solution at this surface. The speeds of the radial and tangential sound are positive and lower than the speed of light, that is, the causal condition is not violated, and also the behavior of these guarantees that the model is potentially stable. Furthermore, the range of the compactness ratio is characteristic of compact stars and it is shown that the effect of the anisotropy generates that the speed of the radial sound can behave as a function monotonically increasing or monotonically decreasing.

Generating solutions for charged stellar models in general relativity

It is shown that the expressions for the tangential pressure, the anisotropy factor and the radial pressure in the Einstein–Maxwell equations may serve as generating functions for charged stellar models. The latter can incorporate an equation of state when the expression for the energy density is also used. Other generating functions are based on the condition for the existence of conformal motion (conformal flatness in particular) and the Karmarkar condition for embedding class one metrics, which do not depend on charge. In all these cases the equations are linear first order differential equations for one of the metric components and Riccati equations for the other. The latter may be always transformed into second order homogenous linear differential equations. These conclusions are illustrated by numerous particular examples from the study of charged stellar models.

Neutral physical compact spherically symmetric stars with non-exotic matters in Einstein’s cluster model using Weitzenböck geometry

We revisit the neutral (uncharged) solutions that describe Einstein’s clusters with matters in the frame of Weitzenböck geometry. To this end, we use a tetrad field with non-diagonal spherical symmetry which gives vanishing of the off-diagonal components of the gravitational field equations. The cluster solutions are calculated by using an anisotropic energy–momentum tensor. We solve the field equations using two novel assumptions. First, we use an equation of state that relates density with tangential pressure, and then we assume a specific form of one of the metric potentials in addition to the assumption of the vanishing of radial pressure to make the system of differential equations in a closed-form. The resulting solutions are coincide with the literature $$ however \, \,in\, \,this\, \,study\, \,we\, \,constrain\,\, the\,\, constants \, \,of\, \, integration\, \, from\, \, \,the\, \, matching\,\, of\, \,boundary $$ h o w e v e r i n t h i s s t u d y w e c o n s t r a i n t h e c o n s t a n t s o f i n t e g r a t i o n f r o m t h e m a t c h i n g o f b o u n d a r y $$ condition\, \, in a\,\, way \,\,different\,\, from\,\, that\,\, presented \,\,in \,\,the\,\, literature. $$ c o n d i t i o n i n a w a y d i f f e r e n t f r o m t h a t p r e s e n t e d i n t h e l i t e r a t u r e . Among many things presented in this study, we investigate the static stability specification and show that our model is consistent with a real compact start except that the tangential pressure has a vanishing value at the center of the star which is not accepted from the physical viewpoint of a real compact star. We conclude that the model that has vanishing radial pressure in the frame of Einstein’s theory is not a physical model. Therefore, we extend this study and derive a new compact star without assuming the vanishing of the redial pressure but instead we assume new form of the metric potentials. We repeat our procedure done in the case of vanishing radial pressure and show in details that the new compact star is more realistic from different physical viewpoints of real compact stellar.

Quintessences compact star with Durgapal potential

A compact star model formed by quintessence and ordinary matter is presented, both sources have anisotropic pressures and are described by linear state equations, also the state equation of the tangential pressure for the ordinary matter incorporates the effect of the quintessence. It is shown that depending on the compactness of the star [Formula: see text] the constant of proportionality [Formula: see text] between the density of the ordinary matter and the radial pressure, [Formula: see text], has an interval of values which is consistent with the possibility that the matter is formed by a mixture of particles like quarks, neutrons and electrons and not only by one type of them. The geometry is described by the Durgapal metric for [Formula: see text] and each one of the pressures and densities is positive, finite and monotonic decreasing, as well as satisfying the condition of causality and of stability [Formula: see text], which makes our model physically acceptable. The maximum compactness that we have is [Formula: see text], so we can apply our solution considering the observational data of mass and radii [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] km which generate a compactness [Formula: see text] associated to the star PSR J0348[Formula: see text]+[Formula: see text]0432. In this case, the interval of [Formula: see text] and its maximum central density [Formula: see text] and in the surface [Formula: see text] of the star are [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], respectively, meanwhile the central density of the quintessence [Formula: see text].

By calculating the unique effective tangential pressure and discussing recent evidence from experiment and simulations, we show that the high pressure and strong compression in adsorbed layers for wetting systems on carbon are significant.
