In this article we present a class of relativistic solutions describing spherically symmetric and static anisotropic stars in hydrostatic equilibrium. For this purpose, we consider a particularized metric potential, namely, Buchdahl ansatz [Phys. Rev. D 116, 1027 (1959).] which encompasses almost all the known analytic solutions to the spherically symmetric, static Einstein equations with a perfect fluid source, including, in particular, the Vaidya-Tikekar and Finch-Skea. We developed the model by considering an anisotropic spherically symmetric static general relativistic configuration that has a significant effect on the structure and properties of stellar objects. We have considered eight different cases for generalized Buchdahl dimensionless parameter $K$ and analyzed them in a uniform manner. As a result it turns out that all the considered cases are valid at every point in the interior spacetime. In addition to this, we show that the model satisfies all the energy conditions and maintains the hydrostatic equilibrium equation. In the frame work of anisotropic hypothesis, we consider analogue objects with similar mass and radii, such as LMC X-4, SMC X-1, EXO 1785-248 etc. to restrict the model parameter arbitrariness. Also, establishing a relation between pressure and density in the form of $P=P(\rho )$, we demonstrate that equation of state (EoS) can be approximated to a linear function of density. Despite the simplicity of this model, the obtained results are satisfactory.

In this article, we have presented a static anisotropic solution of stellar compact objects for self-gravitating system by using minimal geometric deformation techniques in the framework of embedding class one space-time. For solving of this coupling system, we deform this system into two separate system through the geometric deformation of radial components for the source function $$\lambda (r)$$λ(r) by mapping: $$e^{-\lambda (r)}\rightarrow e^{-\tilde{\lambda }(r)}+\beta \,g(r)$$e-λ(r)→e-λ~(r)+βg(r) , where g(r) is deformation function. The first system corresponds to Einstein’s system which is solved by taking a particular generalized form for source function $$\tilde{\lambda }(r)$$λ~(r) while another system is solved by choosing well-behaved deformation function g(r). To test the physical viability of this solution, we find complete thermodynamical observable as pressure, density, velocity, and equilibrium condition via. TOV equation etc. In addition to the above, we have also obtained the moment of inertia (I), Kepler frequency (v), compression modulus ( $$K_e$$Ke ) and stability for this coupling system. The M–R curve has been presented for obtaining the maximum mass and corresponding radius of the compact objects.

We attempt to study a singularity-free model for the spherically symmetric anisotropic strange stars under Einstein’s general theory of relativity by exploiting the Tolman–Kuchowicz (Tolman in Phys...

In this work, we attempt to find an anisotropic solution for a compact star generated by gravitational decoupling in f(Q)-gravity theory having a null complexity factor. To do this, we initially derive the complexity factor condition in f(Q) gravity theory using the definition given by Herrera (Phys Rev D 97:044010, 2018) and then derived a bridge equation between gravitational potentials by assuming complexity factor to be zero (Contreras and Stuchlik in Eur Phys J C 82:706, 2022). Next, we obtain two systems of equations using the complete geometric deformation (CGD) approach. The first system of equations is assumed to be an isotropic system in f(Q)-gravity whose isotropic condition is similar to GR while the second system is dependent on deformation functions. The solution of the first system is obtained by Buchdahl’s spacetime geometry while the governing equations for the second system are solved through the mimic constraint approach along with vanishing complexity condition. The novelty of our work is to generalize the perfect fluid solution into an anisotropic domain in f(Q)-gravity theory with zero complexity for the first time. We present the solution’s analysis to test its physical viability. We exhibit that the existence of pressure anisotropy due to gravitational within the self-gravitating bounded object plays a vital role to stabilize the f(Q) gravity system. In addition, we show that the constant involved in the solution controls the direction of energy flow between the perfect fluid and generic fluid matter distributions.
