Abstrak

We demonstrate how to construct GR-independent equations of state. We emphasize the importance of using theory-based principles instead of relying solely on astrophysical observables and General Relativity (GR). We build a set of equations of state based on first principles, including chiral perturbation theory and perturbation theory in quantum chromodynamics. Interpolation methods are employed to assume thermodynamic stability and causality in the intermediate region. These equations of state are then used to constrain quadratic Palatini $f(\mathcal R)$ gravity, indicating that the parameter lies within the range $-6.47 \lesssim β\lesssim 1.99$ km$^2$. Additionally, we briefly discuss the problem of phase transitions and twin stars.
