Exact model for a relativistic star

Abstract: Assuming that the physical three-space in a relativistic superdense star has the geometry of a three-spheroid, a static spherically symmetric model based on an analytic closed-form solution of Einstein’s field equations is presented. Assuming the density of the order of 2×1014 g cm−3, estimates of the total mass and size of the stars of the model are obtained for various values of a density-variation parameter that is suitably defined. The total mass and the boundary radius of each of these models are of the o… Show more

“…Some works also studied the viability of nonlinear EOS based on suitable geometry for the description in the interior 3-spaces of such compact star [11,86]. This approach leads to physically viable and easily tractable models of superdense stars in equilibrium.…”

“…The Vaidya-Tikekar (VT) superdense stellar model incorporates a spheroidal geometry for the interior of the star [9]. The VT model has been shown to approximate the behaviour of neutron stars to a very good approximation [10].…”

“…Also Thirukkanesh and Maharaj [16] found a family of EinsteinMaxwell solutions that contain the Durgapal and Bannerji [17] neutron star model. [2] presented a general class of Einstein-Maxwell solutions that contain Tikekar [18] spheroidal stars as a special case which are physically viable neutron star models. Hence the approach followed in this paper has proved to be a fruitful avenue for generating new exact solutions for describing the interior spacetimes of charged spheres.…”
