Anisotropic stars made of exotic matter within the complexity factor formalism

Abstract: We investigate exotic stars composed of dark energy within the context of Einstein's General Relativity, by applying an extended Chaplygin gas equation-of-state. To account for anisotropies, we utilize a formalism based on the complexity factor to obtain numerical solutions. By applying well-established criteria, we demonstrate that the solutions are physically valid and well-behaved. In addition, a comparison with a more conventional approach is also conducted.
