In order to solve the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff equations for neutron stars, one routinely uses the equation of states which are computed in the Minkowski spacetime. Using a first-principle approach, it is shown that the equation of states…

We derive a Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff equation in neutron star systems within the modified $f(T, \mathcal{T})$-gravity class of models using a perturbative approach. In our approach $f(T, \mathcal{T})$-gravity is considered to be a static…

We connect two formalisms that describe deformations away from general relativity, one valid in the strong-field regime of neutrons stars and another valid in the radiative regime of gravitational waves: the post-Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff…
