For the accurate understanding of compact objects such as neutron stars and strange stars, the Tolmann-Openheimer-Volkof (TOV) equation has proved to be of great use. Hence, in this work, we obtain the TOV equation for the energy-momentum-conserved $f(R,T)$ theory of gravity to study strange quark stars. The $f(R,T)$ theory is important, especially in cosmology, because it solves certain incompleteness of the standard model. In general, there is no intrinsic conservation of the energy-momentum tensor in the $f(R,T)$ gravity. Since this conservation is important in the astrophysical context, we impose the condition $ abla T_{mu u}=0$, so that we obtain a function $f(R,T)$ that implies conservation. This choice of a function $f(R,T)$ that conserves the momentum-energy tensor gives rise to a strong link between gravity and the microphysics of the compact object. We obtain the TOV by taking into account a linear equation of state to describe the matter inside strange stars, such as $p=omegarho$ and the MIT bag model $p=omega(rho-4B)$. With these assumptions it was possible to derive macroscopic properties of these objects.

In this article we try to present spherically symmetric isotropic strange star model under the framework of $f(R,mathcal{T})$ theory of gravity. To this end, we consider that the Lagrangian density is an arbitrary linear function of the Ricci scalar $R$ and the trace of the energy momentum tensor~$mathcal{T}$ given as $fleft(R,mathcal{T}right)=R+2chi T$. We also assume that the quark matter distribution is governed by the simplest form of the MIT bag model equation of state (EOS) as $p=frac{1}{3}left(rho-4Bright)$, where $B$ is the bag constant. We have obtained an exact solution of the modified form of the the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff (TOV) equation in the framework of $f(R,mathcal{T})$ gravity theory and studied the dependence of different physical properties, viz., total mass, radius, energy density and pressure on the chosen values of $chi$. Further, to examine physical acceptability of the proposed stellar model in detail, we conducted different tests, viz. energy conditions, modified TOV equation, mass-radius relation, causality condition etc. We have precisely explained the effects arising due to the coupling of the matter and geometry on the compact stellar system. For a chosen value of the Bag constant we have predicted numerical values of different physical parameters in tabular format for the different strange stars. It is found that as the factor $chi$ increases the strange stars shrink gradually and become less massive to turn into a more compact stellar system. The maximum mass point is well within the observational limits and hence our proposed model is suitable to explain the ultra dense compact stars. For $chi=0$ we retrieve as usual the standard results of general relativity (GR).
The article presents modeling of inflationary scenarios for the first time in the $f(R,T)$ theory of gravity. We assume the $f(R,T)$ functional from to be $R + eta T$, where $R$ denotes the Ricci scalar, $T$ the trace of the energy-momentum tensor and $eta$ the model parameter (constant). We first investigated an inflationary scenario where the inflation is driven purely due to geometric effects outside of GR. We found the inflation observables to be independent of the number of e-foldings in this setup. The computed value of the spectral index is consistent with latest Planck 2018 dataset while the scalar to tensor ratio is a bit higher. We then proceeded to analyze the behavior of an inflation driven by $f(R,T)$ gravity coupled with a real scalar field. By taking the slow-roll approximation, we generated interesting scenarios where a Klein Gordon potential leads to observationally consistent inflation observables. Our results makes it clear-cut that in addition to the Ricci scalar and scalar fields, the trace of energy momentum tensor also play a major role in driving inflationary scenarios.
In the current article, we study anisotropic spherically symmetric strange star under the background of $f(R,T)$ gravity using the metric potentials of Tolman-Kuchowicz type~cite{Tolman1939,Kuchowicz1968} as $lambda(r)=ln(1+ar^2+br^4)$ and $ u(r)=Br^2+2ln C$ which are free from singularity, satisfy stability criteria and also well behaved. We calculate the value of constants $a$, $b$, $B$ and $C$ using matching conditions and the observed values of the masses and radii of known samples. To describe the strange quark matter (SQM) distribution, here we have used the phenomenological MIT bag model equation of state (EOS) where the density profile ($rho$) is related to the radial pressure ($p_r$) as $p_r(r)=frac{1}{3}(rho-4B_g)$. Here quark pressure is responsible for generation of bag constant $B_g$. Motivation behind this study lies in finding out a non-singular physically acceptable solution having various properties of strange stars. The model shows consistency with various energy conditions, TOV equation, Herreras cracking condition and also with Harrison-Zel$$dovich-Novikovs static stability criteria. Numerical values of EOS parameter and the adiabatic index also enhance the acceptability of our model.
The solutions for the Tolmann-Oppenheimer-Volkoff (TOV) equation bring valuable informations about the macroscopical features of compact astrophysical objects as neutron stars. They are sensitive to both the equation of state considered for nuclear matter and the background gravitational theory. In this work we construct the TOV equation for a conservative version of the $f(R,T)$ gravity. While the non-vanishing of the covariant derivative of the $f(R,T)$ energy-momentum tensor yields, in a cosmological perspective, the prediction of creation of matter throughout the universe evolution as shown by T. Harko, in the analysis of the hydrostatic equilibrium of compact astrophysical objects, this property still lacks a convincing physical explanation. The imposition of $ abla^{mu}T_{mu u}=0$ demands a particular form for the function $h(T)$ in $f(R,T)=R+h(T)$, which is here derived. Therefore, the choice of a specific equation of state for the star matter demands a unique form of $h(T)$, manifesting a strong connection between conserved $f(R,T)$ gravity and the star matter constitution. We construct and solve the TOV equation for the general equation of state for $p=krho^{Gamma}$, with $k$ being the EoS parameter, $rho$ {it the energy density} and $Gamma$ is the adiabatic index. We also derive the macroscopical properties of neutron stars ($Gamma=5/3$) within this approach.
In this work we investigate the equilibrium configurations of white dwarfs in a modified gravity theory, na-mely, $f(R,T)$ gravity, for which $R$ and $T$ stand for the Ricci scalar and trace of the energy-momentum tensor, respectively. Considering the functional form $f(R,T)=R+2lambda T$, with $lambda$ being a constant, we obtain the hydrostatic equilibrium equation for the theory. Some physical properties of white dwarfs, such as: mass, radius, pressure and energy density, as well as their dependence on the parameter $lambda$ are derived. More massive and larger white dwarfs are found for negative values of $lambda$ when it decreases. The equilibrium configurations predict a maximum mass limit for white dwarfs slightly above the Chandrasekhar limit, with larger radii and lower central densities when compared to standard gravity outcomes. The most important effect of $f(R,T)$ theory for massive white dwarfs is the increase of the radius in comparison with GR and also $f(R)$ results. By comparing our results with some observational data of massive white dwarfs we also find a lower limit for $lambda$, namely, $lambda >- 3times 10^{-4}$.
