Compact Objects in Entangled Relativity

Abstract

We describe the first numerical Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff solutions of compact objects in entangled relativity, which is an alternative to the framework of general relativity that does not have any additional free parameter. Assuming a simple polytropic equation of state and the conservation of the rest-mass density, we notably show that, for any given density, compact objects are always heavier (up to 8%\sim 8\%) in entangled relativity than in general relativity -- for any given central density within the usual range of neutron stars' central densities, or for a given radius of the resulting compact object.
