Upper bound on the radii of regular ultra-compact star photonspheres

We investigate the photonsphere in the background of regular asymptotically flat compact stars. The analysis includes the general hairy compact star considering the matter fields' backreaction on the metric in various gravity theories. We prove that the photonsphere of the compact star has an u...
