TLDR
In this paper, the exact solutions to Einstein's equations are compared to the field associated with an isolated static spherically symmetric perfect fluid source, and the candidate solutions are subjected to the following elementary tests: (i) isotropy of the pressure, (ii) regularity at the origin, (iii) positive definiteness of the energy density and pressure at the beginning, vanishing of pressure at some finite radius, and (iv) monotonic decrease of the EE with increasing radius.

$f(R,T)$ gravity

TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered a modified theory of gravity, where the gravitational Lagrangian is given by an arbitrary function of the Ricci scalar and of the trace of the stress-energy tensor.

Neutron Star Structure and the Equation of State

TL;DR: In this article, Buchdahl and Tolman showed that the moment of inertia and the binding energy of a neutron star are nearly universal functions of the star's compactness, which can be understood by considering two analytic, yet realistic, solutions of Einstein's equations.

The physics of neutron stars

TL;DR: Observations that include studies of pulsars in binary systems, thermal emission from isolated neutron stars, glitches from pulsars, and quasi-periodic oscillations from accreting neutron stars provide information about neutron star masses, radii, temperatures, ages, and internal compositions.

Sound speeds, cracking and the stability of self-gravitating anisotropic compact objects

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the influence that density fluctuations and local anisotropy have on the stability of local and non-local anisotropic matter configurations in general relativity and show that potentially unstable regions within a configuration can be identified as a function of the difference of propagations of sound along tangential and radial directions.

Exact Solutions of Einstein's Field Equations

TL;DR: A survey of the known solutions of Einstein's field equations for vacuum, Einstein-Maxwell, pure radiation and perfect fluid sources can be found in this paper, where the solutions are ordered by their symmetry group, their algebraic structure (Petrov type) or other invariant properties such as special subspaces or tensor fields and embedding properties.

New analytical stellar model in general relativity

TL;DR: In this article, a new analytical solution has been obtained for stellar models by solving Einstein's field equation for the spherically symmetric and static case, and the variation of density is smooth and gradual.
