Abstract
We study in the physical frame the phenomenon of spontaneous scalarization that occurs in scalar-tensor theories of gravity for compact objects. We di scuss the fact that the phenomenon occurs exactly in the regime where the N ewtonian analysis indicates it should not. Finally, we discuss the way the phenomenon depends on the equation of state used to describe nuclear matter . [S0556-2821(98)06220-1].
