It is well known that a spherically symmetric compact star whose energy density decreases monotonically possesses an upper bound on its mass-to-radius ratio, $2M/R\leq 8/9$. However, field configurations typically will not be compact. Here…
For spherically symmetric relativistic perfect fluid models, the well-known Buchdahl inequality provides the bound $2 M/R \leq 8/9$, where $R$ denotes the surface radius and $M$ the total mass of a solution. By assuming that the ratio…
In 1959 Buchdahl \cite{Bu} obtained the inequality $2M/R\leq 8/9$ under the assumptions that the energy density is non-increasing outwards and that the pressure is isotropic. Here $M$ is the ADM mass and $R$ the area radius of the boundary…
We consider spherically symmetric static solutions of the Einstein equations with a positive cosmological constant $\Lambda,$ which are regular at the centre, and we investigate the influence of $\Lambda$ on the bound of M/R, where M is the…
It is a famous result of relativistic stellar structure that (under mild technical conditions) a static fluid sphere satisfies the Buchdahl--Bondi bound 2M/R <= 8/9; the surprise here being that the bound is not 2M/R <= 1. In this article…
A classical result by Buchdahl \cite{Bu1} shows that for static solutions of the spherically symmetric Einstein-matter system, the total ADM mass M and the area radius R of the boundary of the body, obey the inequality $2M/R\leq 8/9.$ The…
An analysis of radiating perfect fluid models with asymptotically AdS boundary conditions is presented. Such scenarios consist of a spherical gas of radiation (a "star") localised near the centre of the spacetime due to the confining nature…
We study the effects of anisotropic pressure on the properties of spherically symmetric, gravitationally bound objects. We consider the full general relativistic treatment of this problem and obtain exact solutions for various form of…
In a previous work \cite{An1} matter models such that the energy density $\rho\geq 0,$ and the radial- and tangential pressures $p\geq 0$ and $q,$ satisfy $p+q\leq\Omega\rho, \Omega\geq 1,$ were considered in the context of Buchdahl's…
The ratio of total mass $M$ to surface radius $R$ of spherical perfect fluid ball has an upper bound, $M/R < B$. Buchdahl obtained $B = 4/9$ under the assumptions; non-increasing mass density in outward direction, and barotropic equation of…
In a recent paper by Giuliani and Rothman \cite{GR}, the problem of finding a lower bound on the radius $R$ of a charged sphere with mass M and charge Q<M is addressed. Such a bound is referred to as the critical stability radius.…
I report on recent work concerning the existence and stability of self-gravitating spheres with anisotropic pressure. After presenting new exact solutions, Chandrasekhar's variational formalism for radial perturbations is generalized to…
We consider charged spherically symmetric static solutions of the Einstein-Maxwell equations with a positive cosmological constant $\Lambda$. If $r$ denotes the area radius, $m_g$ and $q$ the gravitational mass and charge of a sphere with…
As discussed in the paper, in a matter-filled spacetime, perhaps with positive cosmological constant, a stable marginally outer trapped 2-sphere must satisfy a certain area inquality. Namely, its area must be bounded above by $4\pi/c$,…

Some theorems for a static prefect fluid sphere, i.e. a star, in the presence of a positive cosmological constant are proved. These theorems put bounds on the pressure profile and internal compactness of the star.
Sharp bounds are obtained, under a variety of assumptions on the eigenvalues of the Einstein tensor, for the ratio of the Hawking mass to the areal radius in static, spherically symmetric space-times.
This paper is an investigation of the stability of some ideal stars. It is in- tended as a study in General Relativity, with emphasis on the coupling to matter, eventually aimed at a better understanding of very strong gravitational fields…
