We investigate the observable signatures -- the shadow, the throat silhouette, and the image of a thin accretion disk -- for a family of static, spherically symmetric wormholes with an arbitrary throat profile. First, we derive expressions…
The properties of an hyperbolically-expanding wormhole are studied. Using a particular equation of state for the fluid on the wormhole throat, we reached an equation of motion for the throat that leads to a constant surface energy density…

Two critical issues in the study of Morris-Thorne wormholes concerns the stability of such structures, as well as their compatibility with quantum field theory. This note discusses an important subset characterized by zero tidal forces. It…

We present a family of static and evolving spherically symmetric Lorentzian wormhole solutions in N+1 dimensional Einstein gravity. In general, for static wormholes, we require that at least the radial pressure has a barotropic equation of…
It is proved that all thin-shell wormholes built from two identical regions of vacuum static, spherically symmetric space-times have a negative shell surface energy density in any scalar-tensor theory of gravity with a non-ghost massless…

This paper explores the effect of an extra spatial dimension on a Morris-Thorne wormhole. After proposing a suitable model, it is shown that under certain conditions, the throat of the wormhole can be threaded with ordinary matter, while…
In this work we have formulated a new class of traversable exponential wormhole metrics. Here initially we have considered a exponential wormhole metric in which the temporal component is an exponential function of $r$ but the spatial…
For static, spherically symmetric space-times in general relativity (GR), a no-go theorem is proved: it excludes the existence of wormholes with flat and/or AdS asymptotic regions on both sides of the throat if the source matter is…
Using Darmois-Israel-Sen junction conditions, and with help of Visser's cut-and-paste method, we study the dynamics of thin-shell wormholes that are made of two conformally Killing gravity (a.k.a Harada gravity) black holes. We check the…
We investigate the evolution of the apparent horizons in a numerically gererated worm hole spacetime. The behavior of the apparent horizons is affected by the dynamics of the matter field. By using the local mass of the system, we interpret…
