Study of (1+2)-dimensional charged string cloud with minimal geometric deformation

This paper is devoted to exploring exact charged solutions in a cloud of strings through minimal geometric deformation technique in three-dimensional gravity. For this purpose, we first evaluate the exact charged isotropic solution for static circular symmetry using Takabayashi equation of state and extend it to obtain three concrete anisotropic charged models. We investigate energy conditions as well as speed of sound constraint to check the viability of the respective solutions. it is concluded that the second model is a realistic one as it fulfills all the physical characteristics as well as stability criterion while the rest of two solutions do not satisfy the physical constraints.
