$R^p$ Attractors Static Neutron Star Phenomenology

Abstract

In this work we study the neutron star phenomenology of $R^p$ attractor theories in the Einstein frame. The Einstein frame $R^p$ attractor theories have the attractor property that they originate from a large class of Jordan frame scalar theories with arbitrary non-minimal coupling. These theories in the Einstein frame provide a viable class of inflationary models, and in this work we investigate their implications on static neutron stars. We numerically solve the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff equations in the Einstein frame, for three distinct equations of state, and we provide the mass-radius diagrams for several cases of interest of the $R^p$ attractor theories. We confront the results with several timely constraints on the radii of specific mass neutron stars, and as we show, only a few cases corresponding to specific equations of state pass the stringent tests on neutron stars phenomenology.
