Abstract

This manuscript studies the viability and stability of charged neutron stars exhibiting anisotropic matter distribution within the framework of f ( Q , L m ) gravity ( Q denotes non-metricity and L m represents the matter Lagrangian). A specific functional form of this theory is adopted to derive explicit expressions for the field equations, which describe the interplay between matter and geometry. The structure of static spherically symmetric system is analyzed using two novel non-singular solutions. The unknown constants in the metric potentials are determined by employing smooth matching conditions at the stellar boundary. A graphical analysis of key physical properties is conducted to asses the viable neutron stars. Furthermore, the stability of these charged stellar objects is examined through different methods. We conclude that these charged stellar configurations are both viable and stable, as they satisfy all necessary physical conditions.
