All spherically symmetric charged anisotropic solutions for compact stars

Abstract

Abstract In the present paper we develop an algorithm for all spherically symmetric anisotropic charged fluid distributions. Considering a new source function $$\nu (r)$$ ν ( r ) we find a set of solutions which is physically well behaved and represents compact stellar models. A detailed study specifically shows that the models actually correspond to strange stars in terms of their mass and radius. In this connection we investigate several physical properties like energy conditions, stability, mass–radius ratio, electric charge content, anisotropic nature and surface redshift through graphical plots and mathematical calculations. All the features from these studies are in excellent agreement with the already available evidence in theory as well as observations.
