Abstract
An investigation into the modified gravity model plays a crucial role in explaining the recent astrophysical data. In this study, we propose a transformation \(\tilde{r}=r/H(\varepsilon)^2)\ in the context of static neutron stars under rainbow gravity space-time, where (\H(\varepsilon))\ is the rainbow gravity function. This transformation caused a change in the TOV equation, resulting in a deviation from the standard model General Relativity (GR) prediction for the mass-radius profile. The updated mass-radius profile indicates that with a specific rainbow gravity function, our model aligns with the astrophysical data from the Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) and other limits set by earlier studies. Our findings suggest a modified gravity model that can help us properly describe the strange behavior of the recent astrophysical data.
