• We propose a form of gravity–matter interaction given by $$\omega RT$$ ω R T in the framework of f ( R ,  T ) gravity and examine the effect of such interaction in spherically symmetric compact stars. Treating the gravity–matter coupling as a perturbative term on the background of Starobinsky gravity, we develop a perturbation theory for equilibrium configurations. For illustration, we take the case of quark stars and explore their various stellar properties. We find that the gravity–matter… CONTINUE READING
