Study of tilted anisotropic polytropes

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to construct spherically symmetric models for anisotropic matter configurations by imposing conformally flat conditions. This work is done for a relatively moving observer with matter using two types of polytropic equations of state. We evaluate the corresponding conservation equation, mass equation as well as energy constraints for both choices of equations of state. The conformal flatness is employed to find a specific form of anisotropy which aids study to spherical polytropic configurations. It is found that the first model satisfies all the energy conditions while the second model does not meet the dominant energy bound. It is also found that both models remain stable throughout the evolution.
