Realistic neutron star models in f(T) gravity

Abstract We investigate the nonrotating neutron stars in f(T) gravity with $$f(T)=T+\alpha {T}^2$$ f ( T ) = T + α T 2 , where T is the torsion scalar in the teleparallel formalism of gravity. In particular, we utilize the SLy and BSk family of equations of state for perfect fluid to describe the ne...
