Study of decoupled gravastars in energy-momentum squared gravity

In this paper, we generate an exact anisotropic gravastar model using gravitational decoupling technique through minimal geo-metric deformation in the framework of f (R, T2) gravity. This novel model explains an ultra-compact stellar configuration whose internal region is smoothly matched to the exterior re-gion. The developed stellar model satisfies some of the essential characteristics of a physically acceptable model such as a positive monotonically decreasing profile of energy density from the center to the boundary and monotonically decreasing behavior of the pressure. The anisotropic factor and Schwarzschild spacetime follows physically acceptable behavior. We find that all the energy bounds are satisfied except strong energy condition inside the ultra-compact stellar structure for the coupling constant of this theory, which is compatible with the regularity condition.& COPY; 2023 Elsevier Inc.
