Gravastars with Karmarkar condition in f(ℜ,2) gravity.

This paper examines the structure of gravastar (gravitationally vacuum star) in the background of f (ℜ , 2) theory. The gravastar can be regarded as a substitute for a black hole comprising of three regions (i) the interior domain, (ii) the intrinsic shell and (iii) the exterior domain. We investigate these domains by employing Karmarkar's condition by assuming a specific f (ℜ , 2) model. The field equations are solved to evaluate nonsingular solutions of both the interior and intermediate regions. Inner as well as outer spacetimes are matched together using Israel formalism to obtain density and pressure at the joining surface. Different attributes of gravastar like the equation of state parameter, proper length, entropy and energy are analyzed through graphical behavior. It is found that the gravastar model is a viable alternative to the black hole in the context of this gravity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
