Abstract

We investigate the impact of gravity on the internal structure of compact stars, expecting this theory to manifest prominently in the high-density cores of such stars. In this study, we begin by considering the algebraic function , where represents the matter-geometry coupling constant. We specifically choose the matter Lagrangian density to explore compact stars with anisotropic pressure. To this end, we employ the MIT bag model as an equation of state. We then numerically solve the hydrostatic equilibrium equations to obtain mass-radius relations for quark stars, examining static stability criteria, the adiabatic index, and the speed of sound. Finally, we use recent astrophysical data to constrain the coupling parameter , which may lead to either larger or smaller masses for quark stars compared to their counterparts in general relativity.
