Three dimensional space is said to be spherically symmetric if it admits SO(3) as the group of isometries. Under this symmetry condition, the Einsteins Field equations for vacuum, yields the Schwarzschild Metric as the unique solution,…
Static spherically symmetric (SSS) solutions of f(R) gravity are studied in the Einstein frame. The solutions involve SSS configuration mass M and scalaron mass $\mu$ (in geometrized units); for typical astrophysical masses, the…
