Abstract

In continuation of recent work done by the present authors (Int. J. Theor. Phys. 2013, doi:10.1007/s10773-013-1538-y, hereafter paper I) some new exact families of static spherically symmetric perfect fluid solution of Einstein–Maxwell gravitational field equations are presented. These solutions and the corresponding equations of state, presented in parametric form, may be astrophysically significant in constructing relativistic stellar models of electrically charged self-bound stars.
