Compact objects in unimodular gravity

Abstract
Unimodular gravity provides a theoretical framework that allows for non-conservation of energy-momentum, with possible implications for the cosmological constant problem. It is then important to study the predictions of unimodular gravity in other gravitational regimes. In this work we study stellar dynamics under the assumption of non-conserved energy-momentum. We find that constant density objects can be as compact as Schwarzschild black holes. For polytropic objects, we find modifications due to the non-conservation of energy-momentum that lead to sizeable effects that could be constrained with observational data. Additionally, we revisit and clarify the Reissner-Nordström solution in unimodular gravity. We also study gravitational collapse and discuss possible implications for the growth of structure.
