Spherically symmetric, static model of the cosmological voids is constructed in the framework of the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkov equation with the cosmological constant. Extension of the Tooper result (dimensionless form of the TOV equation)…

We point out that, due to the nonlinearity of the Einstein equations, a homogeneous approximation in cosmology leads to the appearance of an additional term in the Friedmann equation. This new term is associated with the spatial…
In the coming years, high contrast imaging surveys are expected to reveal the characteristics of the population of wide-orbit, massive, exoplanets. To date, a handful of wide planetary mass companions are known, but only one such…
The kinetic approach to the formation of the filaments in the large-scale matter distribution in the Universe is considered within the Vlasov formalism. The structures arise due to the self-consistent dynamics, along with the repulsive term…

Discoveries of planet- and stellar remnant-hosting pulsars challenge our understanding as the violent supernova explosion that forms the pulsar presumably destabilizes the system. Type II supernova explosions lead to the formation of…
Recent numerical simulations in general relativistic magnetohydrodynamics (GRMHD) provide useful constraints for the interpretation of the GW170817 discovery. Combining the observed data with these simulations leads to a bound on the…
Large neutron star masses as the recently measured $1.97\pm0.04$ M$_\odot$ for PSR J1614-2230 provide a valuable lower limit on the stiffness of the equation of state of dense, nuclear and quark matter. Complementary, the analysis of the…
Within the context of Rastall gravity, we investigate the hydrostatic equilibrium and dynamical stability against radial pulsations of compact stars, where a free parameter $\beta$ measures the deviations from General Relativity (GR). We…
It is conventionally thought that the state equation of dense matter softens and thus cannot result in high maximum mass if pulsars are quark stars, and that a recently discovered $2M_\odot$ pulsar (PSR J1614-2230) may make quark stars to…
The properties of the mass-radius curves of relativistic stellar models constructed from an equation of state with a first-order phase transition are examined. It is shown that the slope of the mass-radius curve is continuous unless the…

The effect of the density dependence of the nucleonic equation of state and the hyperon meson couplings on the star properties, including strangeness content, mass and radius, are studied within a relativistic mean field formalism. It is…
Stars form by gravoturbulent fragmentation of interstellar gas clouds. The supersonic turbulence ubiquitously observed in Galactic molecular gas generates strong density fluctuations with gravity taking over in the densest and most massive…
Most fully developed galaxies have a vivid spiral structure, but the formation and evolution of the spiral structure are still an enigma in astrophysics. In this paper, according to the standard Newtonian gravitational theory and some…
The maximum mass of a neutron star is generally determined by the equation of state of the star material. In this study, we take into account dark matter particles, assumed to behave like fermions with a free parameter to account for the…
Corda, Mosquera Cuesta and Lorduy Gomez have shown that spherically symmetric stationary states can be used as a model for galaxies in the framework of the linearized R^2 gravity. Those states could represent a partial solution to the Dark…
We investigate the causal limit of maximum mass for stars in the framework of$f(R)$ gravity. We choose a causal equation of state, with variable speed of sound, and with the transition density and pressure corresponding to the SLy equation…
