Gravastars have been recently proposed as potential alternatives to explain the astrophysical phenomenology traditionally associated to black holes, raising the question of whether the two objects can be distinguished at all. Leaving aside…

Gravitational vacuum stars (gravastars) have become a viable theoretical alternative to the black hole (BH) end-stage of stellar evolution. These objects gravitate in vacuum like BHs, yet have no event horizons. In this paper, we present…

In this work, a generalization of the Mazur-Mottola gravastar model is explored, by considering a matching of an interior solution governed by the dark energy equation of state, $\omega\equiv p/ \rho<-1/3$, to an exterior Schwarzschild…
