Abstract

In this article the charged analogues of recently derived Buchdahl’s type fluid spheres have been obtained by considering a particular form of electric field intensity. In this process, Einstein–Maxwell field equations yield eight different classes of solutions, joining smoothly with the exterior Reissner–Nordstrom metric at the pressure free intersurface. Out of the eight solutions only seven could be utilized to represent superdense star models with ultrahigh surface density of the order 2×10¹⁴ gm cm⁻³. The maximum masses of the star models were found to be 8.223931M_Θ and 8.460857M_Θ subject to strong and weak energy conditions, respectively, which are much higher than the maximum masses 3.82M_Θ and 4.57M_Θ allowed in the neutral cases. The velocity of sound seen to be less than that of light throughout the star models.
