We investigate compact objects in modified teleparallel gravity with realistic equations
of state. We propose a modification of Teleparallel Equivalent to General Relativity, then an
appropriate tetrad is applied to the field equations. A specific set of relations showing an
equivalency between our gravitational model and the New General Relativity is found. The
conservation equation implies that our Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff equations are presented with an
effective gravitational coupling constant. Numerical analysis using realistic equations of state
is made, and the behavior of mass, radius, and the relation mass-radius as functions of a free
parameter of our model is also investigated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
