We construct the exact stellar configurations that contain an ordinary perfect-fluid matter that interacts minimally with a condensate of gravitons with distinct pressure conditions on the surface. We propose vanishing transverse pressure…

The gravastar is an exotic compact object proposed as a final product of gravitational collapse of a massive object in order to resolve problems associated with black holes. It is enclosed by a thin crust and the inside of it is occupied by…

Using the conventional gravastar model, that is, an object constituted by two components where one of them is a massive infinitely thin shell and the other one is a de Sitter interior spacetime, we physically interpret a solution…

Spherical energy shells in General Relativity tend to collapse due to gravitational effects and/or due to tension effects. Shell stabilization may be achieved by modifying the gravitational properties of the background spacetime. Thus,…

In this paper we attempt to construct a regular gravastar model using the UV corrected framework of Loop Quantum Cosmology. We find that a stable gravastar model can be constructed with a number of unique features: (i) no thin shell…

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…

In this paper we investigate the gravitational vacuum stars which called gravastars in the non-minimally coupled models with electromagnetic and gravitational fields. We consider two non-minimal models and find the corresponding spherically…

One of the very small number of serious alternatives to the usual concept of an astrophysical black hole is the "gravastar" model developed by Mazur and Mottola; and a related phase-transition model due to Laughlin et al. We consider a…

The constant density interior Schwarzschild solution for a static, spherically symmetric collapsed star has a divergent pressure when its radius $R\le\frac{9}{8}R_s=\frac{9}{4}GM$. We show that this divergence is integrable, and induces a…

Gravitational collapse is analyzed in the Brane-World by arguing that regularity of five-dimensional geodesics require that stars on the brane have an atmosphere. For the simple case of a spherically symmetric cloud of non-dissipating dust,…
