On stability of a neutron star system in Palatini gravity

Abstract We formulate the generalized Tolman–Oppenheimer–Volkoff equations for the $$f(\hat{R})$$ f(R^) Palatini gravity in the case of static and spherical symmetric geometry. We also show that a neutron star can be a stable system independently of the form of the functional $$f(\hat{R})$$ f(R^) ....
