One century after its formulation, Einstein's general relativity (GR) has made remarkable
predictions and turned out to be compatible with all experimental tests. Most of these tests …

The understanding of stellar structure represents the crossroads of our theories of the
nuclear force and the gravitational interaction under the most extreme conditions observably …

The dawn of the twenty-first century came with very positive prospects for gravity, cosmology,
and astrophysics. Technological progress made it possible for cosmology to enter to its …

We investigate the causal limit of maximum mass for stars in the framework of f (R) gravity.
We choose a causal equation of state, with variable speed of sound, and with the transition …

Neutron stars and quark stars are ideal laboratories to study fundamental physics at supra
nuclear densities and strong gravitational fields. Astrophysical observables, however …

We derive a new interior solution for stellar compact objects in\(f\mathcal {(R)}\) gravity
assuming a differential relation to constrain the Ricci curvature scalar. To this aim, we …

We discuss the mass-radius diagram for static neutron star models obtained by the
numerical solution of modified Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff equations in f (R) gravity where …

We discuss neutron stars with strong magnetic mean fields in the framework of Extended
Theories of Gravity. In particular, we take into account models derived from f (R) and f (Script …

Rotating relativistic stars have been studied extensively in recent years, both theoretically
and observationally, because of the information they might yield about the equation of state …

Quark star models with realistic equation of state in nonperturbative f (R) gravity are
considered. The mass-radius relation for f (R)= R+ α R 2 model is obtained. Considering …
