Gravitational collapse is one of the most fruitful subjects in gravitational physics. It is well known that singularity formation is inevitable in complete gravitational collapse. It was conjectured that such a singularity should be hidden…
Following our result that for the final state of continued spherical gravitational collapse, the gravitational mass of the fluid, $M_f\to 0$, we show that for a physical fluid the eventual value of $2GM_f/R_f\to 1$ rather than $2GM_f/R_f…
We study the gravitational collapse of a dust dark matter star in a $\Lambda$-background. We consider two distinct cases: First we do not have a dark matter and dark energy coupling; second, we consider that $\Lambda $ decay in dark…
Starting from the Oppenheimer-Snyder model, we know how in classical general relativity the gravitational collapse of matter form a black hole with a central spacetime singularity. It is widely believed that the singularity must be removed…

There are models of gravitational collapse in classical general relativity which admit the formation of naked singularities as well as black holes. These include fluid models as well as models with scalar fields as matter. Even if fluid…

General relativity predicts its own demise at singularities, but also appears to conveniently shield itself from the catastrophic consequences of such singularities, making them safe. For instance, if strong cosmic censorship were…
Semi-classical corrections at large curvature are employed in toy models of spherically symmetric gravitational collapse in order to avoid the formation of singularities. The resulting spacetimes may produce bounces, compact remnants or…
