The Einstein- Gauss- Bonnet (EGB) gravity is an important modification of the Einstein theory of gravity and, for many gravitational phenomena, the Gauss- Bonnet (GB) correction term leads to drastic differences. In this paper, we study…

In this note a time dependent spacetime is explored in the background of $f(R,T)$ gravity via the gravitational collapse of a massive star. The star is modelled by the Vaidya spacetime which is time dependent in nature. The coupling of…
The gravitational collapse of massive stars serves to manifest the most severe deviations of general relativity with respect to Newtonian gravity: the formation of horizons and spacetime singularities. Both features have proven to be…
