Abstract

Compact stars serve as a logical regimen for the implementation of theoretical models that are difficult to understand from an experimental setup. In our present work, we discuss the stability of self-gravitating compact objects by using the concept of cracking in the linear regime. We investigate the effect of density perturbation and local anisotropy on the stability regions of the following compact objects, neutron star PSR J1614-2230, the millisecond pulsar PSR J1903+327 and X-ray pulsars Vela X-1, SMC X-1, Cen X-3. We find that SMC X-1 is the stable compact object and all other exhibit cracking.
