Hence, in this work, we obtain the TOV equation for the energy-momentum-conserved $f(R,T)$ theory of gravity to study strange quark stars. The $f(R,T)$ theory is important, especially in cosmology, because it solves certain incompleteness of the standard model. In general, there is no intrinsic conservation of the energy-momentum tensor in the $f(R,T)$ gravity. Since this conservation is important in the astrophysical context, we impose the condition $\\nabla T_{\\mu\\nu}=0$, so that we obtain a function $f(R,T)$ that implies conservation. This choice of a function $f(R,T)$ that conserves the momentum-energy tensor gives rise to a strong link between gravity and the microphysics of the compact object. We obtain the TOV by taking into account a linear equation of state to describe the matter inside strange stars, such as $p=\\omega\\rho$ and the MIT bag model $p=\\omega(\\rho-4B)$. With these assumptions it was possible to derive macroscopic properties of these objects.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-11-05T17:32:26.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "compact object", "study strange quark stars", "matter inside strange stars", "mit bag model", "standard model" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 14, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
