Abstract
Assuming that the physical three‐space in a relativistic superdense star has the geometry of a three‐spheroid, a static spherically symmetric model based on an analytic closed‐form solution of Einstein’s field equations is presented. Assuming the density of the order of 2×1014 g cm−3, estimates of the total mass and size of the stars of the model are obtained for various values of a density‐variation parameter that is suitably defined. The total mass and the boundary radius of each of these models are of the order of the mass and size of a neutron star.

Static charged perfect fluid spheres in general relativity

B. V. Ivanov
- 12 Apr 2002 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, interior perfect fluid solutions for the Reissner-nordstrom metric are studied on the basis of a new classification scheme, which specifies which two of the characteristics of the fluid are given functions and accordingly picks up one of the three main field equations, the other two being universal.

Classes of exact Einstein–Maxwell solutions
