Neutron Star Structure in the Presence of Nonminimally Coupled Scalar Fields

A. Savaş Arapoğlu, K. Yavuz Ekşi, A. Emrah Yükselci

We study the structure of neutron stars in scalar-tensor theories for the nonminimal coupling of the form $(1+\kappa \xi {\varphi }^2)\mathcal{R}$. We solve the hydrostatic equilibrium equations for tw…
