Abstract

In this paper a compact charged stellar model in the Finch and Skea background spacetime [{\it Class. Quantum Gravity} {\bf6}, 467 (1989)] is presented. The model has been developed by assuming a particular charge distribution within the stellar interior. The model is well behaved and can describe a large class of compact stars. Physical features of the model are studied and in particular we show how the presence of charge can have a non-negligible impact on the mass-radius ($M-R$) relationship of such class of stars.
