Abstract
Within the framework of Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet theory in five-dimensional spacetime (5D EGB), we derive the hydrostatic equilibrium equations and solve them numerically to obtain neutron stars for both isotropic and anisotropic distribution of matter. The mass-radius relations are obtained for SLy equation of state, which describes both the solid crust and the liquid core of neutron stars, and for a wide range of the Gauss-Bonnet coupling parameter α. More specifically, we find that the contribution of the Gauss-Bonnet term leads to substantial deviations from Einstein gravity. We also discuss that after a certain value of α, the theory admits higher maximum masses compared with general relativity, however, the causality condition is violated in the high-mass region. Finally, our results are compared with the recent observations data on mass-radius diagram.
期刊介绍:
Nuclear Physics B focuses on the domain of high energy physics, quantum field theory, statistical systems, and mathematical physics, and includes four main sections: high energy physics - phenomenology, high energy physics - theory, high energy physics - experiment, and quantum field theory, statistical systems, and mathematical physics. The emphasis is on original research papers (Frontiers Articles or Full Length Articles), but Review Articles are also welcome.
