Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff Equations in Modified Gauss-Bonnet Gravity

preprint2014arXivOpen access

Abstract

Based on a stringy inspired Gauss-Bonnet (GB) modification of classical gravity, we constructed a model for neutron stars. We derived the modified forms of Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff (TOV) equations for a generic function of f(G)f(G) gravity. The hydrostatic equations remained unchanged but the dynamical equations for metric functions are modified due to the effects of GB term.
