Gravitational vacuum condensate stars, proposed as the endpoint of gravitational collapse consistent with quantum theory, are reviewed. Gravastars are cold, low entropy, maximally compact objects characterized by a surface boundary layer…
The existence of cosmological compact objects with very strong gravity is a prediction of General Relativity and an exact solution of the Einstein equations. These objects are called black holes and recently we had the first observations of…
The gravastar picture is an alternative model to the concept of a black hole, where there is an effective phase transition at or near where the event horizon is expected to form, and the interior is replaced by a de Sitter condensate. In…
Here we generalized a previous model of gravastar consisted of an internal de Sitter spacetime, a dynamical infinitely thin shell with an equation of state, but now we consider an external de Sitter-Schwarzschild spacetime. We have shown…
Black holes are normally and naturally associated to the end-point of gravitational collapse. Yet, alternatives have been proposed and a particularly interesting one is that of gravitational condensate stars, or gravastars. We here revisit…
In this work, we discuss the configuration of a gravastar (gravitational vacuum stars) in the context of $f(R, \,T )$ gravity by employing the Mazur-Mottola conjecture [P. Mazur and E. Mottola, Report No. LA-UR-01-5067; P. Mazur and E.…

Regular black holes and horizonless black-hole mimickers offer mathematically consistent alternatives to address the challenges posed by standard black holes. However, the formation mechanism of these alternative objects is still largely…
Gravastars are configurations of compact singularity-free gravitational objects which are interesting alternatives to classical solutions in the strong gravitational field regime. Although there are no static star-like solutions of the…
In recent days gravastar has been a very lucrative alternative to black holes, as it does not suffer from the singularity problem as well and it is based on sound physical grounds. Modified Symmetric teleparallel equivalent of gravity also…

This work proposes a stellar model under Gauss-Bonnet $f(\mathcal{G}, T)$ gravity with the conjecture theorised by Mazur and Mottola, well known as the gravitational vacuum stars (gravastars). By taking into account the $f(\mathcal{G},T)$…
We propose a stellar model under the $f(\mathbb{T},\mathcal{T})$ gravity following Mazur-Mottola's conjecture [Mazur (2001), Mazur (2004)] known as gravastar which is generally believed as a viable alternative to black hole. The gravastar…
The crucial role played by pressure in general relativity is explored in the mathematically simple context of a static spherically symmetric geometry. By keeping all pressure terms, the standard formalisms of rotation curve and…
Mazur and Mottola's gravastar model represents one of the few serious alternatives to the traditional understanding of the black hole. The gravastar is typically regarded as a theoretical alternative for the black hole. This article…
