Modelling of a compact anisotropic star as an anisotropic fluid sphere in <i>f</i>(<i>T</i>) gravity

Abstract

In this article, the authors have discussed a new exact model of anisotropic stars in the f(T) theory of gravity. A parametric form of the metric functions has been implemented to solve the dynamical equations in f(T) theory with the anisotropic fluid. The novelty of the work is that the obtained solutions do not contain singularity but are potentially stable. The estimated values for mass and radius of the different strange stars, RX J 1856–37, Her X-1, and Vela X-12, have been utilized to find the values of unknown constants in Krori and Barua metrics. The physical parameters like anisotropy, stability, and redshift of the stars have been examined in detail.
