Relativistic compact stars in Tolman spacetime via an anisotropic approach

Piyali Bhar, Pramit Rej, P. Mafa Takisa +1

In this present work, we have obtained a singularity-free spherically symmetric stellar model with anisotropic pressure in the background of Einstein's general theory of relativity…

Anisotropic charged core envelope star

P. Mafa Takisa, S. D. Maharaj

We study a charged compact object with anisotropic pressures in a core envelope setting. The equation of state is quadratic in the core and linear in the envelope. There is smooth…

A family of Finch and Skea relativistic stars

S. D. Maharaj, D. Kileba Matondo, P. Mafa Takisa

Several new families of exact solution to the Einstein-Maxwell system of differential equations are found for anisotropic charged matter. The spacetime geometry is that of Finch an…

Stellar objects in the quadratic regime

P. Mafa Takisa, S. D. Maharaj, Subharthi Ray

We model a charged anisotropic relativistic star with a quadratic equation of state. Physical features of an exact solution of the Einstein-Maxwell system are studied by incorporat…

Charged compact objects in the linear regime

P. Mafa Takisa, S. Ray, S. D. Maharaj

Astrophysical compact stars provide a natural laboratory for testing theoretical models which are otherwise difficult to prove from an experimental setup. In our present work we an…

Some charged polytropic models

P. Mafa Takisa, S. D. Maharaj

The Einstein-Maxwell equations with anisotropic pressures and electromagnetic field are studied with a polytropic equation of state. New exact solutions to the field equations are…

Compact models with regular charge distributions

P. Mafa Takisa, S. D. Maharaj

We model a compact relativistic body with anisotropic pressures in the presence of an electric field. The equation of state is barotropic with a linear relationship between the rad…

Regular models with quadratic equation of state

S. D. Maharaj, P. Mafa Takisa

We provide new exact solutions to the Einstein-Maxwell system of equations which are physically reasonable. The spacetime is static and spherically symmetric with a charged matter…
