Abstract
AbstractMany physically inspired general relativity (GR) modifications predict significant deviations in the properties of spacetime surrounding massive neutron stars. Among these modifications is $$f({\mathcal {R}}, {\mathbb {T}})$$
f

R
,
T
)
, where $${\mathcal {R}}$$
R
is the Ricci scalar, $$ {\mathbb {T}}$$
T
is the trace of the energy–momentum tensor, the gravitational theory that is thought to be a neutral extension of GR. Neutron stars with masses above 1.8 $$M_{\odot }$$
M

expressed as radio pulsars are precious tests of fundamental physics in extreme conditions unique in the observable universe and unavailable to terrestrial experiments. We obtained an exact analytical solution for anisotropic perfect-fluid spheres in hydrostatic equilibrium using the frame of the linear form of $$f({\mathcal {R}},{\mathbb {T}})={\mathcal {R}}+\beta {\mathbb {T}}$$

were determined by analyzing data obtained from NICER and X-ray Multi-Mirror telescopes. It is important to mention that no assumptions about equations of state were made in this research. Nevertheless, the model demonstrates a good fit with linear patterns involving bag constants. Generally, when the dimensional parameter $$\beta $$
β
is positive, the theory predicts that a star of the same mass will have a slightly larger size than what is predicted by GR. It has been explained that the hydrodynamic equilibrium equation includes an additional force resulting from the coupling between matter and geometry. This force partially reduces the effect of gravitational force. As a result, we compute the maximum compactness allowed by the strong energy condition for $$f({\mathcal {R}}, {\mathbb {T}})={\mathcal {R}}+\beta {\mathbb {T}}$$
