Maximum mass of anisotropic charged strange quark stars in a higher dimensional approach (D ≥ 4)

Abstract

Abstract In this article, a new class of solutions of Einstein-Maxwell field equations of relativistic strange quark stars obtained in dimensions , is shown. We assume that the geometry of space-time is pseudo-spheroid, embedded in Euclidean space of dimensions. The MIT bag model equation of state is employed to study the relevant properties of strange quark stars. For the causal and non-negative nature of the square of the radial sound velocity , we observe that some restrictions exist on the reduced radius , where R is a parameter related to the curvature of the space-time, and b is the radius of the star. The spheroidal parameter λ used here defines the metric potential of the component, which is pseudo-spheroidal in nature. We note that the pressure anisotropy and charge have some effects on λ. The maximum mass for a given surface density ( ) or bag constant assumes a maximum value in dimension and decreases for other values of D. The generalized Buchdahl limit for a higher dimensional charged star is also obeyed in this model. We observe that in this model, we can predict the mass of a strange quark star using a suitable value of the electric charge (Q) and bag constant (B). Energy and stability conditions are also satisfied in this model. Stability is also studied considering the dependence of the Lagrangian perturbation of radial pressure ( ) on the frequency of normal modes of oscillations. The tidal Love number and tidal de-formability are also evaluated.
