Tidal effects related to the traversability across thin shells are examined in spherically symmetric geometries. We focus mainly on shells separating inner from outer regions of gravastars (de Sitter -- i.e. $\Lambda>0$ -- interior and…
Thin shells in general relativity have been used in the past as keystones to obtain realistic models of cosmological and astrophysical situations. A crucial role for these developments was played by the compact description of their dynamics…
In this work we derive the junction conditions for the matching between two spacetimes at a separation hypersurface in the perfect-fluid version of $f\left(R,T\right)$ gravity, not only in the usual geometrical representation but also in a…
By starting with a seed Newtonian potential-density pair we construct relativistic thick spherical shell models for a Majumdar-Papapetrou type conformastatic spacetime. As a simple example, we consider a family of Plummer-Hernquist type…

We describe the dynamics of a thin spherically symmetric gravitating shell in the Reissner-Nordstrom metric of the electrically charged black hole. The energy-momentum tensor of electrically neutral shell is modelled by the perfect fluid…
Previous analyses of shocks generated by shell-crossing singularities are affected by inappropriate gauge choices, and no systematic method is available for selecting a consistent gauge. In this work, we develop such a method for effective…
