The configuration of a perfect fluid distribution in an electric field under the influence of higher curvature geometric effects introduced through the Gauss–Bonnet invariants is studied in the 4 dimensional Glavan–Lin gravity formulation. It is found that whereas a constant spatially directed gravitational potential gives isothermal behaviour in the standard theory, this is not the case when extra curvature is present in general. A physically viable stellar model is constructed by assuming the Finch–Skea potential. The geometry and electrodynamics are well behaved being regular throughout the distribution including the centre. The model passes stability tests such as the Chandrasekar adiabatic stability criterion and causality. Additionally all energy conditions are satisfied within the star. We compare the performance of the model with its Einstein counterpart and observe that the higher curvature exerts a notable influence on all the physical properties of the star.
