- Abstract
The present paper provides a new exact and analytic solution of the Einstein-Maxwell field equations describing compact anisotropic charged stars satisfying the MIT bag model equation of state for quark matter. The model is obtained by assuming the Tolman-Kuchowicz spacetime geometry (Tolman, in Phys Rev 55:364, 1939; Kuchowicz, in Acta Phys Pol 33:541, 1968). Our stellar model is free from central singularity and obeys all the conditions for a realistic stellar object. The solution is smoothly matched with the exterior Reissner-Nordstrom spacetime in order to obtain the physical parameters of the system. An interesting phenomenon which arises in this model is the fact that the force due to the pressure anisotropy initially dominates the Coulomb repulsive force, nevertheless as the radius increases the electric force dominates the anisotropic one. This may be an additional mechanism required for stability and equilibrium against the gravitational collapse of the stellar object. Detailed analyses of the obtained model are also given with the help of graphical representations.
