Analytical external spherical solutions in entangled relativity

In this manuscript, we present analytical external spherical solutions of entangled relativity, which we compare to numerical solutions obtained in a Tolman–Oppenheimer–Volkoff framework. Analytical and numerical solutions match perfectly well outside spherical compact objects, therefore validating both types of solutions at the same time. The analytical external (hairy) solutions – which depend on two parameters only – may be used in order to easily compute observables – such as X-ray pulse profiles – without having to rely on an unknown equation of state for matter inside the compact object.
