We present a discussion on some physical aspects of gravitational collapse which is based on a list of questions related to relevant issues in the study of that phenomenon. Providing answers to those questions we bring out the role played…
We investigate the gravitational collapse of a massive scalar field in a conformally flat, spherically symmetric spacetime within general relativity. The collapsing matter distribution is modeled using a minimally coupled homogeneous scalar…

We study the gravitational collapse of a homogeneous time-dependent scalar field that, besides its coupling to curvature, it is also kinematically coupled to the Einstein tensor. This coupling is a part of the Horndeski theory and we…
In this brief article an internal symmetry of a generic metric compatible space-time connection, metric and generalized volume element is introduced. The symmetry arises naturally by considering a space-time connection containing a generic…

We find the general solution of the Einstein equation for spherically symmetric collapse of Type II fluid (null strange quark fluid) in higher dimensions. It turns out that the nakedness and curvature strength of the shell focusing…
Gravitational collapse into a black hole has been extensively studied with classical sources. We develop a new formalism to simulate quantum fields forming a black hole. This formalism utilizes well-established techniques used for classical…
We carry out a general study on the collapse of axially (and reflection) symmetric sources in the context of general relativity. All basic equations and concepts required to perform such a general study are deployed. These equations are…
We formulate the junction conditions for Scalar-Tensor-Vector Gravity (STVG/MOG), proposed by J.~W.~Moffat. Using these conditions, the theory of gravitational collapse is constructed. In the collapsing process, an interior…
Although it is not a fundamental question, to determine exact and general solutions for a given theory has advantages over a numerical integration in many specific cases. Of course, respecting the peculiarities of the problem. Revisiting…
Numerical studies of gravitational collapse in isotropic coordinates have recently shown an interesting connection between the gravitational Lagrangian and black hole thermodynamics. A study of the actual spacetime was not the main focus of…
