Abstract

Traversable Wormhole are amazing astrophysical objects predicted by General Relativity which are able to connect remote region of space-time. Even if their existence has not been proved yet they are object of continuous investigation. From the theoretically point of view, to exist, traversable wormholes need a special form of energy density termed exotic. Since this exotic source must be concentrated on the throat of the wormhole, we discuss the implications of assuming Yukawa-like profiles which could be realize such a configuration.
