Tolman VII object

(theoretical object adhering to exact GR solution)

The term Tolman VII object refers to a theoretical astronomical object that adheres to the Tolman VII solution, one of several exact solutions to general relativity (GR). The theoretical object can be used as an analytical model for neutron stars, a possibly useful approximation which has motivated comparison between it and the current most-trusted computational models.
