Universality in tidal response close to maximum mass of compact star in f(R,T) gravity

The exceptional characteristics of PSR J0952-0607 including its near-breakup spin rate and faint X-ray counterpart, highlight major gaps in our understanding of the birth mechanisms of structurally stable pulsar in black widow systems. Thus an attempt is made here to develop a self-consistent model for the compact star in $f(R,T)$ framework under the vanishing complexity setup. The obtained field equations are then solved for an anisotropic fluid distribution, to analyze the role of $\alpha$ coupling in shaping the key stellar parameters. Our result emphasizes that more massive and denser core can exist in stable equilibrium within the $f(R,T)$ framework. One of the key findings of our analysis is the existence of a universality class that limits the tidal response as the compact star approaches its maximum stable mass.
