Moment of inertia of slowly rotating anisotropic neutron stars in $f(R,T)$ gravity

Abstract

Within the framework of $f(R,T)$ theories of gravity, we investigate the hydrostatic equilibrium of anisotropic neutron stars with a physically relevant equation of state (EoS) for the radial pressure. In particular, we focus on the $f(R,T)=R+2\beta T$ model, where $\beta$ is a minimal coupling constant. In the slowly rotating approximation, we derive the modified TOV equations and the expression for the relativistic moment of inertia. The main properties of neutron stars, such as radius, mass and moment of inertia, are studied in detail. Our results revel that the main consequence of the $2\beta T$ term is a substantial increase in the surface radius for low enough central densities. Nevertheless, such a term slightly modifies the total gravitational mass and moment of inertia of the slowly rotating stars. Furthermore, the changes are noticeable when anisotropy is incorporated into the stellar fluid, and it is possible to obtain higher masses that are consistent with the current observational data.
