Isotropic compact stars admitting Heintzmann solution in Rastall gravity
Abstract
This paper is devoted to observe the physical attributes of static spherically symmetric isotropic compact stellar candidates in the context of Rastall theory of gravity. In order to inspect the structural composition of compact objects, the Heintzmann ansatz is taken into account. The unknown parameters associated with Heintzmann ansatz are evaluated through matching conditions with derived values of radii and masses of some specific star models. The consistency of the adopted ansatz is analyzed via graphical interpretation of matter variables, equation of state parameter, mass components, energy constraints, causality condition, stellar equation and adiabatic index for several choices of Rastall parameter. It is observed that the stars under consideration manifest stable structures corresponding to Heintzmann ansatz in this framework. Moreover, it is shown that for vanishing Rastall coupling parameter, the standard outcomes of general relativity can be retrieved.
