Anisotropic stellar model of neutron stars in f(T) gravity with off-diagonal tetrad

In this paper, we develop a new class of analytical solutions describing anisotropic stellar structures of observed neutron stars using modified f(T) gravity. We use the off-diagonal tetrad that is best suitable for studying spherically symmetric objects in f(T) gravity. We develop exact solutions in the quadratic model of f(T) gravity by introducing physically reliable metric potentials that can describe a wide range of astrophysical systems. We then apply the model to investigate the stellar structures of four observed compact stars, 4U 1538-52, J0437-4715, J0030+0451, and 4U 1820-30. We calculate the values of model parameters for the stellar objects under examination in this paper. Comprehensive graphical analysis shows that the model describing anisotropic stellar structures is physically acceptable, causal, and stable. The model inherently exhibits the quadratic equation of state that can be utilized to investigate the material composition and stellar structures of the observed compact stars.

Stability and improved physical characteristics of relativistic compact objects arising from the quadratic term in $$p_r = \alpha \rho ^2 + \beta \rho - \gamma $$

We investigate the stability and enhancement of the physical characteristics of compact, relativistic objects which follow a quadratic equation of state. To achieve this, we make use of the Vaidya–Tikekar metric potential. This gravitational potential has been shown to be suitable for describing superdense stellar objects. Pressure anisotropy is also a key feature of our model and is shown to play an important role in maintaining stability. Our results show that the combination of the Vaidya–Tikekar gravitational potential used together with the quadratic equation of state provide models which are favourable. In comparison with other equations of state, we have shown that the quadratic equation of state mimics the colour-flavour-locked equation of state more closely than the linear equation of state.

Universe with quadratic equation of state: A dynamical systems perspective

This paper deals with the dynamical systems analysis of Friedmann–Robertson–Walker (FRW) model of the Universe in the framework of general relativity with quadratic equation of state and bulk viscosity. The evolution equations are transformed into an autonomous system of differential equations using suitable variables transformation. Stability analysis of cosmological models with quadratic equation of state parameter are discussed in detail in two different scenarios viz, first Universe filled with barotropic fluid and second filled with bulk viscous fluid. The nature of critical points is analyzed for both cases accordance with respective eigenvalues. We have also analyzed the stable attractor for both cases and examined their properties from the point of cosmological view.

Dark Energy Stars with Quadratic Equation of State

Recent astronomical observations with respect to measurements in distant supernovas, cosmic microwave background and weak gravitational lensing confirm that the Universe is undergoing a phase of accelerated expansion and it has been proposed that this cosmological behavior is caused by a hypothetical dark energy which has a strong negative pressure that allows explain the expanding universe. Several theoretical ideas and models related dark the energy includes the cosmological constant, quintessence, Chaplygin gas, braneworld and tachyonic scalar fields. In this paper, we have obtained new relativistic stellar configurations considering an anisotropic fluid distribution with a charge distribution which could represents a potential model of a dark energy star. In order to investigate the effect of a quadratic equation of state in this anisotropic model we specify particular forms for the gravitational potential that allow solving the Einstein-Maxwell field equations. For these new solutions we checked that the radial pressure, metric coefficients, energy density, anisotropy factor, charge density , mass function are well defined and are regular in the interior of the star. The solutions found can be used in the development of dark energy stars models satisfying all physical acceptability conditions but the causality condition and strong energy condition are violated. We expect that these models have multiple applications in astrophysics and cosmology.

Relativistic anisotropic model of strange star SAX J1808.4-3658 admitting quadratic equation of state

In this paper, we study the behavior of static spherically symmetric relativistic model of the strange star SAX J1808.4-3658 by exploring a new exact solution for anisotropic matter distribution. We analyze the comprehensive structure of the space–time within the stellar configuration by using the Einstein field equations amalgamated with quadratic equation of state (EoS). Further, we compare solutions of quadratic EoS model with modified Bose–Einstein condensation EoS and linear EoS models which can be generated by a suitable choice of parameters in quadratic EoS model. Subsequently, we compare the properties of strange star SAX J1808.4-3658 for all the three EoS models with the help of graphical representations.
