Recently, a class of Gauss-Bonnet extended Starobinsky gravity was proposed, allowing black holes to carry ghost-free massive scalar hair for the first time without requiring additional matter fields. This intriguing feature offers a new perspective for understanding higher-curvature pure gravity and highlights the importance of further studying the potential effects of Gauss-Bonnet extensions in gravitational systems beyond black holes. In this study, we investigate the properties of neutron stars within this model, focusing on how the higher-curvature terms, particularly the coupling between the Gauss-Bonnet term and the curvature-squared term, impact the stellar structure. We present a detailed analysis of these effects and compute the moment of inertia for rotating neutron stars under the slow-rotation approximation. The substantial differences in the moment of inertia between general relativity and Gauss-Bonnet extended Starobinsky gravity are expected to be detectable through future high-precision observations.

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    In massive Hellings-Nordtvedt theory, a nonzero vector vacuum asymptotically forbids both curvature-vector couplings at once, and the A²R sector yields Schwarzschild-like black holes plus neutron stars that can deviat...

    In Gauss-Bonnet-extended Starobinsky gravity, scalarized black holes form two smoothly joined branches at fixed coupling; adding a Maxwell field can split the family into disconnected branches, and the first law is ch...
