Charged relativistic spheres with generalized potentials
S. Thirukkanesh, S. D. Maharaj
A new class of exact solutions of the Einstein-Maxwell system is found in closed form. This is achieved by choosing a generalised form for one of the gravitational potentials and a…
An emergent universe supported by a nonlinear sigma model
A. Beesham, S. V. Chervon, S. D. Maharaj
We suggest the use of a nonlinear sigma model as the source which supports an emergent universe. The two-component nonlinear sigma model is considered as the simplest model contain…
Some new static charged spheres
S. D. Maharaj, S. Thirukkanesh
We present new exact solutions for the Einstein-Maxwell system in static spherically symmetric interior spacetimes. For a particular form of the gravitational potentials and the el…
Generalised isothermal models with strange equation of state
S. D. Maharaj, S. Thirukkanesh
We consider the linear equation of state for matter distributions that may be applied to strange stars with quark matter. In our general approach the compact relativistic body allo…
Radiating relativistic matter in geodesic motion
S. Thirukkanesh, S. D. Maharaj
We study the gravitational behaviour of a spherically symmetric radiating star when the fluid particles are in geodesic motion. We transform the governing equation into a simpler f…
