Charged stars in 4D Einstein–Gauss–Bonnet gravity

Abstract An alternative gravity theory that has attracted considerable attention recently is the novel four-dimensional Einstein–Gauss–Bonnet (4EGB) gravity. This idea was proposed to bypass Lovelock’s theorem and permit nontrivial higher curvature effects on local In this approach, Gauss–Bonnet (GB) coupling constant $$\alpha $$ α rescaled by a factor of /(D -4)$$ / ( D - 4 ) in D dimensions taking limit $$D \rightarrow 4$$ → . article, we analyze charge static compact stars regularized 4 EGB theory. Two classes new exact solutions are found for particular choice gravitational potential assuming relationship between electric field intensity spatial potential. A graphical analysis indicates matter electromagnetic variables well behaved specific values parameter space. Finally, based physical grounds appropriate bounds model parameters show objects with value adiabatic index $$\gamma γ consistent expectations.
