Comprehensive discussion of Krori–Barua Bardeen compact stars on modified f(R) theories of gravity with scalar potential

The objective of this paper is to deal with physical features of charged anisotropic compact objects in the framework of [Formula: see text] modified theory of gravity. To accomplish the desired objective, we consider a spherically symmetric spacetime with charged anisotropic fluid distribution. In addition, we utilize the Krori–Barua metric, i.e. [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] for exploring the field equations. Moreover, we compare the interior boundary to the bardeen model as an exterior geometry to calculate the unknown constrains. Further, to check the existence of bardeen stellar structure, we discuss the behavior of physical properties such as energy density, pressure components, anisotropy, equation of state parameters, stability analysis, energy bounds, equilibrium condition, adiabatic index, compactness factor and surface redshift. Conclusively, all the obtained results show that the system under consideration is physically stable, free from singularity and viable.
