Five-dimensional compact stars in Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity

Abstract

Within the framework of Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet theory in five-dimensional spacetime ($5D$ EGB), we derive the hydrostatic equilibrium equations and solve them numerically to obtain neutron stars for both isotropic and anisotropic distribution of matter. The mass-radius relations are obtained for SLy equation of state, which describes both the solid crust and the liquid core of neutron stars, and for a wide range of the Gauss-Bonnet coupling parameter $\alpha$. More specifically, we find that the contribution of the Gauss-Bonnet term leads to substantial deviations from Einstein gravity. We also discuss that after a certain value of $\alpha$, the theory admits higher maximum masses compared with general relativity, however, the causality condition is violated in the high-mass region. Finally, our results are compared with the recent observations data on mass-radius diagram.
