The relativistic equations of hydrostatic equilibrium for a spherically symmetric star, or the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff equations are known in higher dimensions. In this paper, these equations have been expressed in terms of parameters of…
Non-rotating neutron stars are generally treated in theoretical studies as perfect spheres. Such a treatment, however, may not be correct if strong magnetic fields are present (such as for magnetars) and/or the pressure of the matter in the…

We develop an analytic method of inverting the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff (TOV) relations to high accuracy. In principle, a specified $\mathcal{E}\mbox{-}P$ relation gives a unique $M\mbox{-}R$ relation, and vice-versa. Our method is…
