Abstract

In this paper, we have obtained a new singularity free charged anisotropic fluid solution of Einstein’s field equations. The physical parameters as radial pressure, tangential pressure, energy density, charge density, electric field intensity, velocity of sound and red-shift are well behaved everywhere inside the star. The obtained compact star models can represent the observational compact objects as PSR \(1937{+}21\) and PSR J1614–2230.
