Wormholes solutions in f(R,T) gravity with photon sphere at the throat

Abstract

This work is aimed at the study of traversable wormholes, proposed by Morris and Thorne [Wormholes in spacetime and their use for interstellar travel: A tool for teaching general relativity, Am. J. Phys. 56 (1988) 395], in the framework of [Formula: see text] gravity, where [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are constants. The wormhole solutions are obtained and analyzed by using a simplest form of shape function. Further, the existence of photon spheres outside the throat of wormhole due to the gravitational lensing effect is detected.
