Modelling of a compact anisotropic star as an anisotropic fluid sphere in f(T) gravity

In this article, the authors have discussed a new exact model of anisotropic stars in the f(T) theory of gravity. A parametric form of the metric functions has been implemented to solve the dynamical equations in f(T) theory with the anisotropic fluid. The novelty of the work is that the obtained solutions do not contain singularity but are potentially stable. The estimated values for mass and radius of the different strange stars, RX J 1856–37, Her X-1, and Vela X-12, have been utilized to find the values of unknown constants in Krori and Barua metrics. The physical parameters like anisotropy, stability, and redshift of the stars have been examined in detail.

A new solution of embedding class I representing anisotropic fluid sphere in general relativity

In this paper, we are willing to develop a model of an anisotropic star by choosing a new [Formula: see text] metric potential. All the physical parameters like the matter density, radial and transverse pressure are regular inside the anisotropic star, with the speed of sound less than the speed of light. So the new solution obtained by us gives satisfactory description of realistic astrophysical compact stars. The model of this paper is compatible with observational data of compact objects like RX J1856-37, Her X-1, Vela X-12 and Cen X-3. A particular model of Her X-1 (Mass 0.98 [Formula: see text] and radius[Formula: see text]=[Formula: see text]6.7 km.) is studied in detail and found that it satisfies all the condition needed for physically acceptable model. Our model is described analytically as well as with the help of graphical representation.

Mimicking static anisotropic fluid spheres in general relativity

We argue that an arbitrary general relativistic static anisotropic fluid sphere, (static and spherically symmetric but with transverse pressure not equal to radial pressure), can nevertheless be successfully mimicked by suitable linear combinations of theoretically attractive and quite simple classical matter: a classical (charged) isotropic perfect fluid, a classical electromagnetic field and a classical (minimally coupled) scalar field. While the most general decomposition is not unique, a preferred minimal decomposition can be constructed that is unique. We show how the classical energy conditions for the anisotropic fluid sphere can be related to energy conditions for the isotropic perfect fluid, electromagnetic field, and scalar field components of the model. Furthermore, we show how this decomposition relates to the distribution of both electric charge density and scalar charge density throughout the model. The generalized TOV equation implies that the perfect fluid component in this model is automatically in internal equilibrium, with pressure forces, electric forces, and scalar forces balancing the gravitational pseudo-force. Consequently, we can build theoretically attractive matter models that can be used to mimic almost any static spherically symmetric spacetime.

An Exact Model of an Anisotropic Relativistic Sphere

In this paper the field equations of general relativity are solved to obtain an exact solution for a static anisotropic fluid sphere. The solution is free from singularity and satisfies the necessary physical requirements. The physical 3-space of the solution is pseudo-spheroidal. The solution is matched at the boundary with the Schwarzschild exterior solution. Numerical estimates of various physical parameters are briefly discussed.
