Exploring physical properties of minimally deformed strange star model and constraints on maximum mass limit in $f(\mathcal{Q})$ gravity

Understand

In this work we take our cue from the observations of gravitational waves of the GW190814 event which suggests that source of the signals can be ascribed to a compact binary coalescence of a 22.2 to 24.3$ M_{\odot}$ black hole and a compact object endowed with a mass of 2.50 to 2.67$M_{\odot}$.

• In the current exposition, we are concerned with modeling of the lower mass component of the coalescence pair.
• We utilise the $f(\mathcal{Q})$ gravity together with Minimum Geometric Deformation (MGD) technique to obtain compact stellar objects with masses aligned with the GW190814 event.
• Starting off with the Tolman IV ansatz for one of the metric functions, together with a MIT Bag model equation of state we are able to reduce the problem of fully describing the gravitational behaviour of the seed solution to a quadrature.
