Analytic study of self-gravitating polytropic spheres with light rings

Abstract Ultra-compact objects describe horizonless solutions of the Einstein field equations which, like black-hole spacetimes, possess null circular geodesics (closed light rings). We study analytically the physical properties of spherically symmetric ultra-compact isotropic fluid spheres with a p...
