Description

In this talk we discuss a parametrised formalism for describing relativistic stars beyond General Relativity, without committing to any particular modified theory of gravity. We show how the deviations from GR are reflected on the stellar mass-radius and demonstrate the equivalence between this "post-TOV" formalism and an effective GR description.
