ABSTRACT

Salmona 1967

Salmona, A., 1967: Effect of gravitational scalar field on high-density star structure. Phys. Rev., 154, 1218-1223, doi:10.1103/PhysRev.154.1218.

The theory of gravitation allowing variation of the gravitational constant G by means of a scalar field introduced by Brans and Dicke is applied in the case of a fluid sphere in gravitational equilibrium. The departure of the mass-radius relation in this theory from the Einstein theory is investigated for different values of the constant ω and for high central-energy densities in completely degenerate stars (neutron stars).
