Anisotropic compact stars model with generalized Bardeen–Hayward mass function

A new compact stars nonsingular model is presented with the generalized Bardeen–Hayward mass function. Generalized Bardeen–Hayward described the regular black hole, however, due to its regularity or nonsingular nature we were inspired to construct an anisotropic compact stars model. Along with the ansatz mass function, we coupled it with a linear equation of state (EoS) to find the solutions of field equations. Indeed, the new solutions are physically viable in all physical ground. The energy conditions and Tolman–Oppenheimer–Volkoff (TOV)-equation are well satisfied signifying that the mass distribution is physically possible and at equilibrium. Also, the static stability criterion, the causality condition and Abreu’s stability condition hold good and therefore configurations are physically static stable. The same condition is further supported by the condition that the adiabatic index, which is greater than the Newtonian limit, i.e. [Formula: see text]. It is also noticed that the bag constant [Formula: see text] is proportional to the surface density in our model.

Quark Stars in Massive Brans–Dicke Gravity with Tolman–Kuchowicz Spacetime

In this paper, we construct anisotropic model representing salient features of strange stars in the framework of massive Brans–Dicke gravity. We formulate the field equations for Tolman–Kuchowicz ansatz by incorporating the MIT bag model. Junction conditions are applied on the boundary of the stellar model to evaluate the unknown constants in terms of mass and radius of the star. The radius of the strange star candidate PSR J1614-2230 is predicted by assuming maximum anisotropy at the surface of the star for different values of the coupling parameter, mass of the scalar field and bag constant. We examine various properties as well as the viability and stability of the anisotropic sphere. We conclude that the astrophysical model agrees with the essential criteria of a physically realistic model for higher values of the coupling parameter as well as mass of the scalar field.

Constraining bag constant for hybrid neutron stars

We study the star matter properties for Hybrid equation of state (EoS) by varying the bag constant. We use the effective field theory motivated relativistic mean field model (E-RMF) for hadron phase with recently reported FSUGarnet, G3 and IOPB-I parameter sets. The results of NL3 and NL3[Formula: see text] sets are also shown for comparison. The simple MIT bag model is applied for the quark phase to construct the hybrid EoS. The hybrid neutron star mass and radius are calculated by varying with [Formula: see text] to constrain the [Formula: see text] values. It is found that [Formula: see text]–160[Formula: see text]MeV is suitable for explaining the quark matter in neutron stars.

Constraining values of bag constant for strange star candidates

We provide a strange star model under the framework of general relativity by using a general linear equation of state (EOS). The solution set thus obtained is employed on altogether 20 compact star candidates to constraint values of MIT bag model. No specific value of the bag constant ([Formula: see text]) a priori is assumed, rather possible range of values for bag constant is determined from observational data of the said set of compact stars. To do so, the Tolman–Oppenheimer–Volkoff (TOV) equation is solved by homotopy perturbation method (HPM) and hence we get a mass function for the stellar system. The solution to the Einstein field equations represents a nonsingular, causal and stable stellar structure which can be related to strange stars. Eventually, we get an interesting result on the range of the bag constant as [Formula: see text]. We have found the maximum surface redshift [Formula: see text] and shown that the central redshift ([Formula: see text]) cannot have value larger than [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text]. Also, we provide a possible value of bag constant for neutron star with quark core using hadronic as well as quark EOS.

Anisotropic strange star with Tolman V potential

In this paper, we present a strange stellar model using Tolman [Formula: see text]-type metric potential employing simplest form of the MIT bag equation of state (EOS) for the quark matter. We consider that the stellar system is spherically symmetric, compact and made of an anisotropic fluid. Choosing different values of [Formula: see text] we obtain exact solutions of the Einstein field equations and finally conclude that for a specific value of the parameter [Formula: see text], we find physically acceptable features of the stellar object. Further, we conduct different physical tests, viz., the energy condition, generalized Tolman–Oppeheimer–Volkoff (TOV) equation, Herrera’s cracking concept, etc., to confirm the physical validity of the presented model. Matching conditions provide expressions for different constants whereas maximization of the anisotropy parameter provides bag constant. By using the observed data of several compact stars, we derive exact values of some of the physical parameters and exhibit their features in tabular form. It is to note that our predicted value of the bag constant satisfies the report of CERN-SPS and RHIC.
