Effects of Electromagnetic Field on the Structure of Massive Compact Objects

Abstract

This paper encompasses a set of stellar equations that administer the formation and evolution of self-gravitating, dissipative spherically symmetric fluid distributions having anisotropic stresses in the presence of electromagnetic field. The Riemann tensor is split orthogonally to procure five scalar functions named as structure scalars which are then utilized in the stellar equations. It is shown that some basic fluid properties such as energy density inhomogeneity, pressure anisotropy and heat flux are interlinked with the obtained scalars. Further, it is shown that all the solutions to Einstein equations can be written in terms of these five scalars keeping in view the static case.
