The final fate of a collapsing star depends not only on how much matter it contains but also on how that matter resists gravity in different directions. In this work, we investigate the final fate of highly magnetized radiation-dominated…

We formulate the junction conditions for Scalar-Tensor-Vector Gravity (STVG/MOG), proposed by J.~W.~Moffat. Using these conditions, the theory of gravitational collapse is constructed. In the collapsing process, an interior…
We investigate a curvature singularity appearing in the star collapse process in $F(R)$ gravity. In particular, we propose an understanding of the mechanism to produce the curvature singularity. Moreover, we explicitly demonstrate that…
We study the gravitational collapse of a star with barotropic equation of state $p=w\rho$ in the context of $f({\mathcal R})$ theories of gravity. Utilizing the metric formalism, we rewrite the field equations as those of Brans-Dicke theory…
In this work, we propose a model of the gravitational collapse of dark matter in the presence of quintessence or phantom-like scalar fields. Our treatment is based on the principles of general relativity up to virialization. We have chosen…
We invoke the global properties of the actual GTR field equations for spherical collapse to directly show that the condition for formation of trapped surfaces, 2GM/R >1 is not allowed by GTR. And therefore all singularity theorems based on…
We analyze the evolution of a homogenous and pressureless ball of dust (or "star") in ghost-free massive gravity on de Sitter spacetime. We find that gravitational collapse does not take place for all parameters of the massive gravity…
This paper provides an extended exploration of the inverse-chirp gravitational-wave signals from stellar collapse in massive scalar-tensor gravity reported in [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 119}, 201103]. We systematically explore the parameter…
We study here the spherical gravitational collapse assuming initial data to be necessarily smooth, as motivated by the requirements based on physical reasonableness. A tangential pressure model is constructed and analyzed in order to…
The "direct collapse" scenario has emerged as a promising evolutionary track for the formation of supermassive black holes early in the Universe. In an idealized version of such a scenario, a uniformly rotating supermassive star spinning at…
We investigate spherically symmetric gravitational collapse of thick matter shell without radiation in the Einstein gravity with cosmological constant. The orbit of the infalling thick matter is determined by imposing an equation of state…
This work is based on stability analysis of spherically symmetric collapsing star surrounding in locally anisotropic environment in $f(R,T)$ gravity, where $R$ is Ricci scalar and $T$ corresponds to the trace of energy momentum tensor.…
In Paper I in this series we constructed evolution equations for the complete gauge-invariant linear perturbations of a time-dependent spherically symmetric perfect fluid spacetime. A key application of this formalism is the interior of a…
We investigate the behaviour of a relativistic spherically symmetric radiative star with an accelerating, expanding and shearing interior matter distribution in the presence of anisotropic pressures. The junction condition can be written in…
In the gravitational collapse of matter beyond spherical symmetry, gravitational waves are necessarily present. On the other hand, gravitational waves can collapse to a black hole even without matter. One might therefore wonder how the…
This paper is devoted to investigate gravitational collapse of dust in metric $f(R)$ gravity. We take FRW metric for the interior region while the Schwarzchild spacetime is considered for the exterior region of a star. The junction…
