We investigate a trapped surface and naked singularity in a $D$-dimensional Vaidya spacetime with a self-similar mass function. A trapped surface is defined as a closed spacelike $(D-2)$-surface which has negative both null expansions.…
In the present work, we study the general surrounded Vaidya solution by the various cosmological fields and its nature describing the possibility of the formation of naked singularities or black holes. Motivated by the fact that real…

A presentation of the Vaidya type Schwarzschild-like black holes with flat, AdS and dS asymptotics in 4-dimensional general relativity in the form of a pointlike mass is given. True singularities are described by making the use of the Dirac…
We present some simple pen and paper examples of trapped surfaces in order to help visualising this key concept of the theory of gravitational collapse. We collect these examples from time-symmetric initial data, 2+1 dimensions, collapsing…
Marginally trapped surfaces (MTSs) are commonly used in numerical relativity to locate black holes. For dynamical black holes, it is not known generally if this procedure is sufficiently reliable. Even for Schwarzschild black holes, Wald…
We investigate the end state of gravitational collapse of null fluid in higher dimensional space-times. Both naked singularities and black holes are shown to be developing as final outcome of the collapse. The naked singularity spectrum in…
The gravitational collapse of a high-density null charged matter fluid, satisfying the Hagedorn equation of state, is considered in the framework of the Vaidya geometry. The general solution of the gravitational field equations can be…
We investigate the geometrical structure of Vaidya's spacetime in the case of a white hole with decreasing mass, stabilising to a black hole in finite or infinite time or evaporating completely. Our approach relies on a detailed analysis of…
The spherical gravitational collapse of a compact packet consisting of perfect fluid is studied. The spacetime outside the fluid packet is described by the out-going Vaidya radiation fluid. It is found that when the collapse has continuous…
We discuss the boundary of the spacetime region through each point of which a trapped surface passes, first in some simple soluble examples, and then in the self-similar Vaidya solution. For the latter the boundary must lie strictly inside…
We study the final outcome of gravitational collapse resulting from the plane symmetric charged Vaidya spacetime. Using the field equations, we show that the weak energy condition is always satisfied by collapsing fluid. It is found that…
We analyse here the gravitational collapse of directed null radiation in a background with a constant potential such as one produced by a star system like galaxy in which the collapsing object is immersed. Both naked singularities and black…
We consider spherically symmetric gravity coupled to a spherically symmetric scalar field with a specific coupling which depends on the Areal Radius. Classical collapse is described by the Vaidya solution. The semiclassical Einstein…
In singularity generating spacetimes both the out-going and in-going expansions of null geodesic congruences $\theta ^{+}$ and $\theta ^{-}$ should become increasingly negative without bound, inside the horizon. This behavior leads to…
In general relativity, the endpoint of spherically symmetric gravitational collapse is a Schwarzschild--[(A)dS] black hole. In bimetric gravity, it has been speculated that a static end state must also be Schwarzschild--[(A)dS]. To this…
The process of the gravitational collapse might lead not only to a black hole but also to naked singularity formation. In this paper, we consider the generalized Vaidya spacetime with polytropic and generalized polytropic equations of…
Exact solutions of the gravitational field equations for a mixture of a null charged strange quark fluid and radiation are obtained in a Vaidya space-time. The conditions for the formation of a naked singularity are analyzed by considering…
Kerr-Vaidya metrics are the simplest dynamical axially-symmetric solutions, all of which violate the null energy condition and thus are consistent with the formation of a trapped region in finite time according to distant observers. We…
The boundary of the region in spacetime containing future-trapped closed surfaces is considered. In asymptotically flat spacetimes, this boundary does not need to be the event horizon nor a dynamical/trapping horizon. Some properties of…
