Charged stellar structure with Krori–Barua potentials in f(R,ϕ,X) gravity admitting Chaplygin equation of state.

The primary objective of this paper is to examine singularity-free solutions within the framework of anisotropic solutions for the Chaplygin equation of state in f (R , ϕ , X) modified gravity theory. Herein, R signifies the Ricci scalar, ϕ denotes the scalar field, and X represents the kinetic term associated with ϕ. The investigation employs the Krori–Barua metric to explore the characteristics of an anisotropic compact star. In the course of our analysis, we specifically consider observational data about three distinct stellar structures: Her X-I, LMC X-4, and 4U 1538-52. Our inquiry extends to the graphical examination of various physical parameters, encompassing energy density, pressure components, anisotropic components, equation of state parameters, equilibrium conditions, stability analysis, adiabatic index, and energy conditions. Furthermore, we delve into the intricacies of the mass-radius function, compactness factor, and surface redshift–integral features of charged compact stars. The culmination of our findings suggests that the f (R , ϕ , X) theory of gravity when subjected to observational scrutiny, manifests as realistic, stable, and devoid of singularities.
