Viable and Stable Compact Stars in $f(\mathcal{Q})$ Theory

Understand

In this paper, we study the viability and stability of anisotropic compact stars in the context of $f(\mathcal{Q})$ theory, where $\mathcal{Q}$ is non-metricity scalar.

• We use Finch-Skea solutions to investigate the physical properties of compact stars.
• To determine the values of unknown constants, we match internal spacetime with the exterior region at the boundary surface.
• Furthermore, we study the various physical quantities, including effective matter variables, energy conditions and equation of state parameters inside the considered compact stars.
