General relativistic polytropes for anisotropic matter: The general formalism and applications
L. Herrera, W. Barreto
We set up in detail the general formalism to model polytropic general relativistic stars with anisotropic pressure. We shall consider two different possible polytropic equations, a…

Newtonian polytropes for anisotropic matter: General framework and applications
L. Herrera, W. Barreto
We set up the general formalism to model polytropic Newtonian stars with anisotropic pressure. We obtain the corresponding Lane-Emden equation. A heuristic model based on an ansatz…
