Abstract

We consider a spherically symmetric internal solution within the context of Einstein–Chern–Simons gravity and derive a generalized five-dimensional Tolman–Oppenheimer–Volkoff (TOV) equation. It is shown that the generalized TOV equation leads, in a certain limit, to the standard five-dimensional TOV equation.
