Abstract
In the current paper we have investigated a well-behaved new model of anisotropic compact star in (\(3+1\))-dimensional spacetime. The exterior spacetime is described by the Schwarzschild vacuum solution. The model is obtained in the background of Tolman IV \(g_{rr}\) metric potential. Our model is free from central singularities and satisfies all energy conditions. The solution is compatible with observed masses and radii of a few compact stars like Her X-1, PSR J0737-3039A, PSR B1913+16, RX J1856.5-3754, Cyg X-2 and PSR J1903+0327.
