We study the mechanisms of the gravitational collapse of the Bose-Einstein condensate dark matter halos, described by the zero temperature time-dependent nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation (the Gross-Pitaevskii equation), with repulsive…
Quantum gravity suggests that the paradox recently put forward by Almheiri et. al. (AMPS) can be resolved if matter does not undergo continuous collapse to a singularity but condenses on the apparent horizon. One can then expect a…
This paper examines the structure of a gravitationally vacuum star (also known as gravastar) in the background of ${f}(\Re,\mathcal{T}^{2})$ theory. This hypothetical object can be treated as a substitute of a black hole, with three…
This study explores the effect of charge on a special astronomical object known as a gravastar, which is viewed as an alternative to a black hole. Based on the conjecture put out by Mazur and Mottola in general relativity, the study…
In this paper, we generate an exact anisotropic gravastar model using gravitational decoupling technique through minimal geometric deformation in the framework of $f(\Re, {T}^{2})$ gravity. This novel model explains an ultra-compact stellar…
Using graphs plotted from the Mathematica notebooks posted with our paper ``Dynamical Gravastars'', we show that a dynamical gravastar has no hard surface, and that a second light sphere resides in the deep interior where there is maximum…
Based on a previously found general class of quantum improved exact solutions composed of non-interacting (dust) particles, we model the gravitational collapse of stars. As the modeled star collapses a closed apparent 3-horizon is generated…
We study here the gravitational collapse of a matter cloud with a non-vanishing tangential pressure in the presence of a non-zero cosmological term. Conditions for bounce and singularity formation are derived for the model. It is also shown…
Gravastars, hypothetic astrophysical objects, consisting of a dark energy condensate surrounded by a strongly correlated thin shell of anisotropic matter, have been proposed as an alternative to the standard black hole picture of general…
There is a viable vector-tensor gravity (VTG) theory, whose vector field produces repulsive forces leading to important effects. In the background universe, the effect of these forces is an accelerated expansion identical to that produced…
Exotic compact objects with physical surfaces a Planckian distance away from where the horizon would have been are inspired in quantum gravity. Most of these objects are defined by a classical spacetime metric, such as boson stars,…
This study explores singularity-free solutions to the static, spherical symmetric Einstein equations with the standard Schwarzschild solution as a boundary condition. Imposing the absence of curvature singularities and requiring…
The macroscopic effects of the quantum conformal anomaly are evaluated in a simplified two-dimensional model of gravitational collapse. The effective action and stress tensor of the anomaly can be expressed in a local quadratic form by the…
Do observations of black hole candidates rule out alternative theories of gravity without horizon formation? This depends on the existence, viability and reasonableness of alternative theories of gravity without black holes. Here a theory…
In this paper, we first generalize the definition of stationary universal horizons to dynamical ones, and then show that (dynamical) universal horizons can be formed from realistic gravitational collapse. This is done by constructing…
We construct a gravastar configuration within the Shtanov-Sahni (SS) braneworld scenario, characterized by a timelike extra dimension and negative brane tension. Unlike classical black holes, which inevitably culminate in central curvature…
Numerical investigation of the static spherically symmetric vacuum solution of the Logunov equations confirms the analytical results and demonstrates a strong repulsion at sub-Planckian distance from the Schwarzschild-like singularity,…
The "gravastar" picture developed by Mazur and Mottola is one of a very small number of serious challenges to our usual conception of a "black hole". In the gravastar picture there is effectively a phase transition at/ near where the event…
We model a compact radiant star that undergoes gravitational collapse from a certain initial static configuration until it becomes a black hole. The star consists of a fluid with anisotropy in pressures, bulk viscosity, in addition to the…
An important class of observables for gravitational waves consists of the fluxes of energy, momentum and angular momentum carried away by them and are well understood for weak gravitational waves in Minkowski background. In de Sitter…
