In this paper, we investigate static spherically symmetric wormhole solutions in the background of $F(T,T_\mathcal{G})$ gravity ($T$ is the torsion scalar and $T_{\mathcal{G}}$ represents teleparallel equivalent of the Gauss-Bonnet term).…
We consider stability of differentially rotating non-magnetic proto-neutron stars. When neutrino transport is efficient, the star can be subject to a diffusive instability that can occur even in the convectively stable region. The…
Dark energy with the usually used equation of state $p=w\rho$, where $w=const<0$ is hydrodynamically unstable. To overcome this drawback we consider the cosmology of a perfect fluid with a linear equation of state of a more general form…
The frozen star model provides a classical description of a regularized black hole and is based upon the idea that regularizing the singularity requires deviations from the Schwarzschild geometry which extend over horizon-sized scales, as…

We consider perfect fluid bodies (stars) in general relativity, characterized by particle number density and entropy per particle. A star is said to be in dynamic equilibrium if it is a stationary, axisymmetric solution to the…
The well-known problem of wormholes in general relativity (GR) is the necessity of exotic matter, violating the Weak Energy Condition (WEC), for their support. This problem looks easier if, instead of island-like configurations, one…
Topological stars are regular, horizonless solitons arising from dimensional compactification of Einstein-Maxwell theory in five dimensions, which could describe qualitative properties of microstate geometries for astrophysical black holes.…

There are a number of reasons to study wormholes with generic cosmological constant $\Lambda$. Recent observations indicate that present accelerating expansion of the universe demands $\Lambda>0$. On the other hand, some extended theories…

Neutron stars make a unique astrophysical test bench for our understanding of quantum physics at kilometre scales. The rotation of a neutron star features glitches, sudden spin-ups that interrupt the otherwise regular stellar spin-down,…
