Compelling alternatives to black holes, namely, gravitational vacuum star ({\it gravastar}) models, the multilayered structure compact objects, have been proposed to avoid a number of theoretical problems associated with event horizons and…

This is a continuation and generalization of our earlier work on {\it gravastar} in (2+1) anti-de Sitter space-time to 2+1 dimensional solution of charged gravastar. Morphologically this gravastar contains three regions namely: (i) charged…

In this paper, we construct two spherically symmetric thin-shell gravastar models within a BTZ geometry with minimum length. Therefore, in the inner region of the gravastar, we consider an anti- de Sitter metric with minimum length. Thus,…

The gravastar picture is an alternative model to the concept of a black hole, where there is an effective phase transition at or near where the event horizon is expected to form, and the interior is replaced by a de Sitter condensate. In…

We propose a new model of a {\it gravastar} admitting conformal motion. While retaining the framework of the Mazur-Mottola model, the gravastar is assumed to be internally charged, with an exterior defined by a Reissner-Nordstr{\"o}m rather…

Gravastars are configurations of compact singularity-free gravitational objects which are interesting alternatives to classical solutions in the strong gravitational field regime. Although there are no static star-like solutions of the…

Black holes are normally and naturally associated to the end-point of gravitational collapse. Yet, alternatives have been proposed and a particularly interesting one is that of gravitational condensate stars, or gravastars. We here revisit…

In this paper we consider the Dvali and G\'omez assumption that the end state of a gravitational collapse is a Bose-Einstein condensate of gravitons. We then construct the two Gross-Pitaevskii equations for a static and spherically…

In the current research, we present a novel gravastar model based on the Mazur-Mottola (2004) method with an isotropic matter distribution in $f(Q)$ gravity. The gravastar, a hypothesized substitute for a black hole, is built using the…

The "gravastar" picture developed by Mazur and Mottola is one of a very small number of serious challenges to our usual conception of a "black hole". In the gravastar picture there is effectively a phase transition at/ near where the event…

In this paper, we build a thin-shell gravastar model within a noncommutative BTZ geometry. For this, we consider a noncommutative BTZ metric in the inner region and a geometry associated with a BTZ solution in the outer region, joined by…

This work proposes a stellar model under Gauss-Bonnet $f(\mathcal{G}, T)$ gravity with the conjecture theorised by Mazur and Mottola, well known as the gravitational vacuum stars (gravastars). By taking into account the $f(\mathcal{G},T)$…

In recent work we physically interpreted a special gravastar solution characterized by a zero Schwarzschild mass. In fact, in that case, none gravastar was formed and the shell expanded, leaving behind a de Sitter or a Minkowski spacetime,…
