Two exact solutions for $n=0$ and $n=1$ of the Palatini-modified Lane-Emden equation are found. We have employed these solutions to describe a Palatini-Newtonian neutron star and compared the result with the pure Newtonian counterpart. It…

In the present work we study strange stars in $f(R)$ theories of gravity in the Palatini formalism. We consider two concrete well-known cases, namely the $R+R^2/(6 M^2)$ model as well as the $R-\mu^4/R$ model for two different values of the…
Polytropic models play a very important role in galactic dynamics and in the theory of stellar structure and evolution. However, in general, the solution of the Lane-Emden equation can not be given analytically but only numerically. In the…
