The Sultana-Dyer solution of general relativity representing a black hole embedded in a special cosmological background is analysed. We find an expanding (weak) spacetime singularity instead of the reported conformal Killing horizon, which…
The Sultana-Dyer space-time is suggested as a model describing a black hole embedded in an expanding universe. Recently, in \cite{0705.4012}, its global structure is analyzed and the trapping horizons are shown. In the paper, by directly…
We thoroughly investigate conformally Schwarzschild spacetimes in different coordinate systems to seek for physically reasonable models of a cosmological black hole. We assume that a conformal factor depends only on the time coordinate and…
In this work, we investigate whether the compact object at the center of the Milky Way is a naked singularity described by the $\textit{q}$-metric spacetime. Our fitting of the astrometric and spectroscopic data for the S2 star implies that…
The non-extremal stationary black holes do have "{\it hidden}" conformal symmetry in which case the generators form $SL(2,\mathbb{R})$ group. Here, I explicitly show that the Sultana-Dyer black hole solution also possesses the similar near…
A distinguishable physical property between a naked singularity and a black-hole, formed during a gravitational collapse has important implications for both experimental and theoretical relativity. We examine the energy radiated during the…
Considering the evolution of a perfect fluid with self-similarity of the second kind, we have found that an initial naked singularity can be trapped by an event horizon due to collapsing matter. The fluid moves along time-like geodesics…
We present a novel example of a 2-dimensional space-time naked singularity. The solution has a gravity singularity and no-horizon. This example is only a toy model and as such its motivation is mathematical. In the physical sense it is very…
We use the phenomenological approach to study properties of space-time in the vicinity of the Schwarzschild black-hole singularity. Requiring finiteness of the Schwarzschild-like metrics we come to the notion of integrable singularity that…
If an evaporating black hole does not settle down to a non radiating remnant, a description by a semi classical Lorentz metric must contain either a naked singularity or what we call a thunderbolt, a singularity that spreads out to infinity…
Black holes harbor a spacetime singularity of infinite curvature, where classical spacetime physics breaks down, and current theory cannot predict what will happen. However, the singularity is invisible from the outside because strong…
In this paper the structure of the generalized Vaidya spacetime when the type-II of the matter field satisfies the equation of the state $P=\rho$ is investigated. Satisfying all energy conditions we show that this spacetime contains the…
It is generally believed that the shadows of either a black hole or naked singularity arise due to photon spheres developing in these spacetimes. Here we propose a new spherically symmetric naked singularity spacetime solution of Einstein…
We show that all known naked singularities in spherically symmetric self-similar spacetimes arise as a result of singular initial matter distribution. This is a result of the peculiarity of the coordinate transformation that takes these…
The universe is filled with various compact objects and the most attractive of them are the black holes and singularity. But it is also known that at the singularity density becomes so infinitely high that the present physics knowledge…
We investigate what are the key physical features that cause the development of a naked singularity, rather than a black hole, as the end-state of spherical gravitational collapse. We show that sufficiently strong shearing effects near the…
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…
Previously, it was noticed that in some space-times with Killing horizons some curvature components, responsible for tidal forces, small or even zero in the static frame, become enhanced from the viewpoint of a falling observer. This leads…
There are non-radial null geodesics emanating from the shell focusing singularity formed at the symmetric center in a spherically symmetric dust collapse. In this article, assuming the self-similarity in the region filled with the dust…
We investigate the occurrence and nature of a naked singularity in the gravitational collapse of an inhomogeneous dust cloud described by a non self-similar higher dimensional Tolman spacetime. The necessary condition for the formation of a…
