Abstract
We present the interior solution for a static, spherically symmetric perfect fluid star backreacted by QFT in four dimensions invoking no arbitrary parameters. It corresponds to a constant energy density star and is fully non-perturbative. The space of solutions includes ultra-compact configurations that have neither singularities nor light rings inside the star and can exist arbitrarily close to the Schwarzschild limit, showing that the classical paradigm of astrophysics does not hold once QFT in curved space is taken into account.
