Neutron stars in $f(\mathcal{R},\mathcal{T})$ gravity using realistic equations of state in the light of massive pulsars and GW170817

R. Lobato, O. Lourenço, P. H. R. S. Moraes +5

In this work we investigate neutron stars (NS) in $f(\mathcal{R},\mathcal{T})$ gravity for the case $R+2\lambda \mathcal{T}$, $\mathcal{R}$ is the Ricci scalar and $\mathcal{T}$ the trace of the en…
