Shadows of a maximal acceleration

TL;DR

This paper explores the implications of a quantum mechanical upper limit on particle acceleration, called maximal acceleration, on the stability and composition of compact stars like white dwarfs and neutron stars.

Contribution

It introduces the concept of maximal acceleration into astrophysical models, revealing its significant impact on the stability conditions of compact stars.

Findings

Few MA fermions are present in white dwarfs and neutron stars.

Maximal acceleration drastically alters star stability conditions.

Abstract

A quantum mechanical upper limit on the value of particle accelerations, or maximal acceleration (MA), is applied to compact stars. A few MA fermions are at most present in canonical white dwarfs and neutron stars. They drastically alter a star's stability conditions.
