Viable and Stable Compact Stellar Structures in $f(\mathcal{Q},\mathcal{T})$ Theory

Abstract

The main objective of this paper is to investigate the impact of $f(\mathcal{Q},\mathcal{T})$ gravity on the geometry of anisotropic compact stellar objects, where $\mathcal{Q}$ is non-metricity and $\mathcal{T}$ is the trace of the energy-momentum tensor. In this perspective, we use the physically viable non-singular solutions to examine the configuration of static spherically symmetric structures. We consider a specific model of this theory to examine various physical quantities in the interior of the proposed compact stars. These quantities include fluid parameters, anisotropy, energy constraints, equation of state parameters, mass, compactness and redshift. The Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff equation is used to examine the equilibrium state of stellar models, while the stability of the proposed compact stars is investigated through sound speed and adiabatic index methods. It is found that the proposed compact stars are viable and stable in the context of this theory.
