Stability of charged neutron star in Palatini f(R) gravity
Abstract
In this work, we discuss the stability of charged neutron star in the background of f(ˆR) gravity and construct the generalized Tolman–Oppenheimer–Volkoff (TOV) equations. For this, we consider static spherically symmetric geometry to construct the hydrostatic equilibrium equation and deduce TOV equations from modified field equations with electromagnetic effects. We conclude that the generalized TOV equation depicts the stable stars configuration independent of the generic function of the modified gravity if the condition of uniform entropy and chemical composition is assumed.
