The transition from hadronic matter to quark matter in the core of neutron stars is likely to be associated with the appearance of a mixed phase, leading to a smooth variation of the star density profile. We discuss the results of a…
In this paper, we construct thin-shell wormholes by applying the cut and paste procedure to a regular charged black hole in nonlinear electrodynamics field. We discuss different physical aspects of wormholes such as, the possible equation…
We consider rotating wormhole solutions supported by a complex phantom scalar field with a quartic self-interaction, where the phantom field induces the rotation of the spacetime. The solutions are regular and asymptotically flat. A subset…
Tensor-multi-scalar theories (TMST) are among the most natural generalizations of Einstein's theory, they are mathematically self-consistent and free from pathologies. They pass through all the known observations but contrary to standard…
Glitches are sudden spin-up events that interrupt the gradual spin-down of rotating neutron stars. They are believed to arise from the rapid unpinning of vortices in the neutron star inner crust. The analogy between the inner crust of…
It is known that Lorentzian wormholes must be threaded by matter that violates the null energy condition. We phenomenologically characterize such exotic matter by a general class of microscopic scalar field Lagrangians and formulate the…
Recent neutron star observations set new constraints for the equation of state of baryonic matter. A chiral effective field theory approach is used for the description of neutron-dominated nuclear matter present in the outer core of neutron…
This paper investigates the geometry of static traversable wormhole through Noether symmetry approach in $f(R)$ gravity. We take perfect fluid distribution and formulate symmetry generators with associated conserved quantities corresponding…
It is generally agreed that the acceleration of the Universe can best be explained by the presence of dark or phantom energy. The equation of state of the latter shows that the null energy condition is violated. Such a violation is the…
Magnetic fields in upper main-sequence stars, white dwarfs, and neutron stars are known to persist for timescales comparable to their lifetimes. From a theoretical perspective this is problematic, as it can be shown that simple magnetic…
We investigate the effects, stability, and nonlinear dynamics of ghost scalar matter modeled as a field with a negative kinetic term confined within the cores of neutron stars. To this end, we analyze static configurations of the coupled…
The existence of stable magnetic configurations in white dwarfs, neutron stars and various non-convective stellar {regions} is now well recognized. It has recently been shown numerically that various families of equilibria, including…
Nonequilibrium conditions imposed by neutrino cooling through the liquid-solid transition lead to disorder in the solid crust of neutron stars. Disorder reduces the superfluid fraction, $\rho_s/\rho$, at densities above that of neutron…
A thin-shell wormhole is crafted by the cut-and-paste method of two Bardeen de-Sitter black holes using Darmois-Israel formalism. Energy conditions are considered for different values of magnetic charge while both mass and cosmological…
Neutron star glitches are commonly believed to occur, when angular momentum is transferred suddenly from the star's interior to the crust by the collective unpinning and repinning of large numbers of superfluid vortices. In general, the…
We consider the classical linear stability of a static universe filled with a non-interacting mixture of isotropic radiation and a ghost scalar field. Unlike the conventional Einstein static model, this cosmology is stable against…
We study the stability of different higher dimensional thin--shell wormholes (HDTSW) in general relativity with a cosmological constant. We show that a $d$--dimensional thin--shell wormhole surrounded by quintessence can have three…
In this paper we study the possibility of sustaining an evolving wormhole via exotic matter made of phantom energy in the presence of a cosmological constant. We derive analytical evolving wormhole geometries by supposing that the radial…
A scalar hair is used to generate a mutated black hole, which mimics an Einstein-Rosen bridge or a wormhole. The superradiant stability of the spacetime is studied under perturbation by an electrically charged massive scalar field. The…
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,…
