The idea of this paper is to look some anisotropic star models in a metric approach, where R is the Ricci scalar. The Karmarkar and Tolman system is used to analyze the physics of some spherically symmetric stars using two independent computational gravitational theories. The behavior of structural factors is evaluated using diagrams, and the feasibility of compact objects is investigated using boundary conditions for the involved constants. The investigation in the profiles of the effective energy/matter states, the equilibrium phases, and the Tolman‐Oppenheimer‐Volkoff models and stability analysis is performed for various realistic candidates of stars. Under a few important cosmological backgrounds, the assessment of our graphics may offer assistance in the search of the realistic and viable gravitational models.
