Abstract
Using the Einstein field equations in the presence of a cosmological constant, the equations which describe the hydrostatic equilibrium of a static anisotropic fluid sphere are obtained inD (D≥4) space-time dimensions. With suitable transformations, the equation of mass-continuity and of hydrostatic equilibrium are given in a non-dimensional form. The formalism thus developed is used to study homogeneous charged fluid spheres in higher dimensions and for these configurations a complete solution is obtained.

Bonnor stars in d spacetime dimensions

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied a class of spherically symmetric Bonnor star solutions in d =n+1 spacetime dimensions, with n being the number of spatial dimensions, and showed that these stars, under sufficient compactification, form d-dimensional quasi-black holes.
