In this paper we consider a special case of vacuum nonlinear electrodynamics with a stress–energy tensor conformal to the Maxwell theory. Distinctive features of this model are the absence of a dimensional parameter for the nonlinearity description and a very simple form of the dominant energy condition, which can easily be verified in an arbitrary pseudo-Riemannian space-time with the consequent constraints on the model parameters. In this paper we analyze some properties of astrophysical compact objects coupled to conformal vacuum nonlinear electrodynamics.
