Charged Anisotropic Models For Quark Stars

Abstract We perform a detailed physical analysis for

a class of exact solutions for the Einstein-Maxwell equations.

The linear equation of state consistent with

quark stars has been incorporated in the model. The

physical analysis of the exact solutions is performed

by considering the charged anisotropic stars for the

particular nonsingular exact model obtained by Maharaj,

Sunzu and Ray. In performing such an analysis

we regain masses obtained by previous researchers for

isotropic and anisotropic matter. It is also indicated

that other masses and radii may be generated which

are in acceptable ranges consistent with observed values

of stellar objects. A study of the mass-radius relation

indicates the effect of the electromagnetic field and

anisotropy on the mass of the relativistic star
