Screened and Unscreened Solutions for Relativistic Star in de Rham-Gabadadze-Tolley (dRGT) Massive Gravity

Abstract

We study the static and spherical symmetric (SSS) configurations in the non-minimal model of the de Rham-Gabadadze-Tolley (dRGT) massive gravity with a flat reference metric. Considering the modified Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff (TOV) equation, the Bianchi identity, and energy-momentum conservation, we find a new algebraic equation for the radial coordinate of the reference metric. We demonstrate that this equation suggests an absence of the Vainshtein mechanism in the minimal model of the dRGT massive gravity, while it has two branches of solutions where one connects with the Schwarzschild space-time and another implies the significant deviation from the asymptotically flat space-time in the non-minimal model. We also briefly discuss the boundary conditions for the relativistic stars in the dRGT massive gravity and a potential relation with the mass-radius relation of the stars.
