On the impact of non-local gravity on compact stars
Abstract
We study the impact of non-local modifications of General Relativity on stellar structure. In particular, assuming an analytic distortion function and specific equations of state, we made use of remnant stars to put qualitative constraints on a parameter not directly restricted by solar system tests. Using current data sets available for white dwarfs and strange quark stars candidates we find that the most stringent bounds come from the objects displaying the highest core densities, namely strange quark stars. Specifically, the constraints obtained from this class of stars are three to four orders of magnitude tighter than those obtained using white dwarfs.
