Static and slowly rotating neutron stars in scalar–tensor theory with self-interacting massive scalar field

Abstract Binary pulsar observations and gravitational wave detections seriously constrained scalar–tensor theories with massless scalar field allowing only small deviations from general relativity. If we consider a nonzero mass of the scalar field, though, significant deviations from general relativ...
