Higher-Order Gravity, Lane-Emden Equation, Stellar Structure

Scientific paper

Starting with the general "quadratic gravity" in four dimensions, linearization, assumption of the weak gravitational field to be static and matter to be a perfect fluid, one arrives at the modified Lane-Emden equation. The solutions of the modified Lane-Emden equation are found and the formulas for the stellar radius are obtained in two cases of the polytropic index N = 0 and N = 1. The influence of the additional Yukawa forces in the linearized higher-order gravitation on the Newtonian stellar structure is discussed.
