Gravity's Rainbow and Compact Stars

TL;DR

This paper investigates how Gravity's Rainbow, a theory incorporating Planck scale effects, alters the equilibrium structures of compact stars like white dwarfs and neutron stars.

Contribution

It introduces a novel analysis of the impact of Gravity's Rainbow on the equilibrium configurations of compact astrophysical objects.

Findings

Gravity's Rainbow modifies the mass-radius relationship of white dwarfs.

Neutron star stability thresholds are affected by Planck scale deformations.

The study provides insights into quantum gravity effects on astrophysical phenomena.

Abstract

A number of recent studies has focused on the implications of new physics at the Planck scale on the equilibrium of compact astrophysical objects such as white dwarf and neutron stars. Here we analyze the modification of the equilibrium configurations induced by the so-called Gravity's Rainbow that account for Planck scale deformation of the space-time.
