Mass-radius ratio bounds for compact objects in Lorentz-violating dRGT massive gravity theory

Abstract We consider the mass-radius bounds for spherically symmetric static compact objects in the de Rham-Gabadadze-Tolley (dRGT) massive gravity theories, free of ghosts. In this type of gravitational theories the graviton, the quantum of gravity, may have a small, but non-vanishing mass. We deri...
