Newtonian polytropes for anisotropic matter: General framework and applications

Abstract: We set up the general formalism to model polytropic Newtonian stars with anisotropic pressure. We obtain the corresponding Lane-Emden equation. A heuristic model based on an ansatz to obtain anisotropic matter solutions from known solutions for isotropic matter is adopted to illustrate the effects of the pressure anisotropy on the structure of the star. In particular, we calculate the Chandrasekhar mass for a white dwarf. It is clearly displayed how the Chandrasekhar mass limit changes depending on the anisotr… Show more

“…There are also models with quadratic EOS and λ [100][101][102]. The popular polytropic EOS from Newtonian gravity was shown to lead in the anisotropic Newtonian case to the well-known LaneEmden equations [103] and to their relativistic generalisation in Einstein's gravity [104]. A simple solution for a simple ansatz for λ has been found [105].…”
