ResumoMass-varying massive gravity allows the graviton mass to vary according to different environments. We investigate neutron star and white dwarf solutions in this theory and find that the graviton mass can become very large near the compact stars and settle down quickly to small cosmological values away the stars, similar to that of black holes in the theory. It is found that there exists a tower of compact star solutions where the graviton mass decreases radially to zero nontrivially. We compute the massive graviton effects on the mass-radius relations of the compact stars and also compare the relative strengths between neutron stars and white dwarfs in constraining the parameter space of mass-varying massive gravity.
