Nonradial oscillations of realistic anisotropic neutron stars: Polar modes

L. M. Becerra, José F. Rodríguez-Ruiz, E. A. Becerra-Vergara +1

In this work, we study the polar perturbations of static, spherically symmetric neutron stars with anisotropic pressure in full general relativity, including linear-order perturbat…

On the Stability of Anisotropic Neutron Stars

L. M. Becerra, E. A. Becerra-Vergara, F. D. Lora-Clavijo +1

We model anisotropic neutron stars using three distinct prescriptions for pressure anisotropy, the Horvat, Bowers-Liang, and Covariant models, and three equations of state with dif…

Slowly Rotating Anisotropic Neutron Stars with a Parametrized Equation of State

L. M. Becerra, E. A. Becerra-Vergara, F. D. Lora-Clavijo

In this work, we study the impact of anisotropy on slowly rotating neutron stars by extending the Hartle-Thorne formalism in general relativity to include anisotropy in pressure up…

Neutron stars in the generalized SU(2) Proca theory

Jhan N. Martinez, Jose F. Rodriguez, Laura M. Becerra +2

The generalized SU(2) Proca theory is a vector-tensor modified gravity theory characterized by an action that remains invariant under both diffeomorphisms and global internal trans…

Realistic Anisotropic Neutron Stars: Pressure Effects

L. M. Becerra, E. A. Becerra-Vergara, F. D. Lora-Clavijo

In this paper, we study the impact of anisotropy on neutron stars with different equations of state, which have been modeled by a piecewise polytropic function with continuous soun…

The -metric naked singularity: A viable explanation for the nature of the central object in the Milky Way

F. D. Lora-Clavijo, G. D. Prada-Méndez, L. M. Becerra +1

In this work, we investigate whether the compact object at the center of the Milky Way is a naked singularity described by the -metric spacetime. Our fitting of the ast…
