Analysis of some newly constructed compact models in f(R, T) theory

Abstract

Abstract In this paper, black hole solutions are developed within the framework of f(R, T) gravity through the minimal gravitational decoupling approach. By introducing a new source in the original isotropic matter distribution, the corresponding field equations acquire additional degrees of freedom. Applying the transformation on the radial metric function leads these equations to two distinct sets, each representing the influence of either the seed or additional source exclusively. In order to formulate the black hole solutions, the seed source is considered to be a vacuum, characterized by the Schwarzschild metric. To derive a viable solution for the second system, constraints are imposed on the metric potentials and energy-momentum tensor of the additional source. Three distinct solutions are graphically analyzed based on varying values of the decoupling parameter. The energy conditions are also plotted to determine the nature of the extra source. Finally, it is concluded that two of our three developed models agree with the asymptotic flatness criterion and energy bounds in this modified theory.
