Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff Equations in Modified Gauss-Bonnet Gravity (1408.3626v2)
Published 15 Aug 2014 in gr-qc, astro-ph.HE, and hep-th
Abstract: Based on a stringy inspired Gauss-Bonnet (GB) modification of classical gravity, we constructed a model for neutron stars. We derived the modified forms of Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff (TOV) equations for a generic function of $f(G)$ gravity. The hydrostatic equations remained unchanged but the dynamical equations for metric functions are modified due to the effects of GB term.
