Abstract In this paper, we investigate the existence of anisotropic compact stellar structures in the framework of f ( G , T ) gravity. We assume static spherically symmetric spacetime and utilize the embedding class-I approach to evaluate the unknown metric functions corresponding to a particular f ( G , T ) model. We determine the unknown constants by matching the interior and exterior geometries. The viability of the model is checked for different compact stars through energy bounds, compactness, gravitational redshift, Heintzmann condition for adiabatic index and Herrera stability condition but the graphical analysis is given only for SAX J1808.4-3658 compact star candidate. The behavior of physical parameters indicates viable and stable structure of the stellar model.
