Astrophysical black holes arise as exact solutions of the Einstein field equations. Therefore, any alternative, such as a gravastar, must satisfy the same level of mathematical rigor and internal consistency. A physically viable gravastar…

Gravastars have been recently proposed as potential alternatives to explain the astrophysical phenomenology traditionally associated to black holes, raising the question of whether the two objects can be distinguished at all. Leaving aside…

Black holes are an apparently unavoidable prediction of classical General Relativity, at least if matter obeys the strong energy condition rho + 3p > 0. However quantum vacuum fluctuations generally violate this condition, as does the eq.…
