Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff Equations in Modified Gauss-Bonnet Gravity

Understand

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.
