In this paper we have studied a particular class of exact solutions of Einstein's gravitational field equations for spherically symmetric and static perfect fluid distribution in isotropic coordinates. The Schwarzschild compactness parameter, GM/c (2) R, can attain the maximum value 0.1956 up to which the solution satisfies the elementary tests of physical relevance. The solution also found to have monotonic decreasing adiabatic sound speed from the centre to the boundary of the fluid sphere. A wide range of fluid spheres of different mass and radius for a given compactness is possible. The maximum mass of the fluid distribution is calculated by using stellar surface density as parameter. The values of different physical variables obtained for some potential strange star candidates like Her X-1, 4U 1538-52, LMC X-4, SAX J1808.4-3658 given by our analytical model demonstrate the astrophysical significance of our class of relativistic stellar models in the study of internal structure of compact star such as self-bound strange quark star.

Stellar modeling with the Einstein-Maxwell field equations via gravitational decoupling

Neeraj Pant, Satyanarayana Gedela, Ravindra K. Bisht

Summary: The paper aims to find an anisotropic and charged version of the Heintzmann interior solution in a space-time using the minimal geometric deformation approach to gravitational decoupling. Through various physical tests, the obtained model of neutron star 4U1608-52 proves to be a well-behaved physical solution to Einstein-Maxwell's field equations.

Modified Chaplygin gas in anisotropic universes on the brane

Saibal Ray, Prasenjit Paul, Rikpratik Sengupta, Neeraj Pant, Riju Nag

Summary: This paper investigates anisotropic universes with Modified Chaplygin gas in the context of the Randall Sundrum-2 braneworld model. Solutions for Kantowski-Sachs and Bianchi-I universes with MCG are obtained, showing modifications from GR solutions due to the braneworld correction term. The possibility of future singularities is considered, with the model overcoming some drawbacks of the relativistic framework.

Summary: In this paper, two new exact and analytic solutions are presented for compact anisotropic charged stars in the background of Bardeen black hole geometry satisfying the Karmarkar condition. The models consist of inner region described by class I Karmarkar space-time and exterior characterized by both Bardeen and Reissner-Nordstrom spacetimes. Analysis shows that the models are well-behaved in terms of matter and thermodynamic variables.

Compact star with coupled dark energy in Karmarkar connected relativistic space-time

Shweta Saklany, Neeraj Pant, Brajesh Pandey

Summary: The main aim of this study is to investigate the influence of background dark energy on a gravitationally compact star, PSRJ0740 + 6620. The Einstein field equations are used in an anisotropic regime to model the space-time fabric and associated gravity. The spatial metric potential of Vaidya-Tikekar type is utilized to obtain the temporal metric potential using Karmarkar's connecting relation and the unknown constants are calculated using Darmois-Israel conditions. Through rigorous theoretical analysis, it is found that the model star satisfies all the necessary and sufficient conditions to form a viable stellar configuration. The key findings suggest that the background repulsive scalar field of dark energy can aid in the formation of dense and stable stellar structures at masses beyond the TOV limit.
