Abstract

In this paper, a previously developed formalism, where all possible deviations, due to modified gravity from the structure of compact stars in general relativity, have been classified in a parametrized phenomenological form, has been used to deal with the stellar exterior. Several potential astrophysical observables, e.g. the surface redshift, have been computed for future use.
