Moment of inertia of a slowly rotating compact star in Eddington-inspired Born Infeld theory

Abstract

In this paper, we report our current progress on constructing the machinery to calculate the moment of inertia of a compact star in the Eddington-inspired Born Infeld theory. As a result of translating the metric functions from apparent metric to physical metric, we obtain that the resulting physical moment of inertia is shifted by a term that is linear to κ, one of the parameters of EiBI.
