“…Generally, neutron stars are compact objects with a mass M ∼ 1.4M , a radius R ∼ 12 km, and a central density as high as 5 to 10 times the nuclear equilibrium density n 0 ≈ 0.16 fm −3 of neutrons and protons found in laboratory nuclei (ρ n ≈ 2.3−2.8 × 10 14 g/cm 3 ) [10,11,13]. 2 Neutron stars have been investigated in various modified theories of gravity including, in particular, f (R) gravity [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22], f (R, T ) gravity [23][24][25][26][27], teleparallel gravity [28,29], Einstein-Dilaton-Gauss-Bonnet gravity [30,31], scalar-tensor gravity [32][33][34][35], massive gravity [36], Rastall gravity [37], Eddington-inspired Born-Infeld gravity [38], Hořava-Lifshitz gravity [39] and etc (one can find more references, for example, in the review [40]).…”
