Recent developments in gravitational collapse and spacetime singularities

PS Joshi, D Malafarina - International Journal of Modern Physics D, 2011 - World Scientific
It is now known that when a massive star collapses under the force of its own gravity, the
final fate of such a continual gravitational collapse will be either a black hole or a naked …

Non-singular quantum-inspired gravitational collapse

C Bambi, D Malafarina, L Modesto - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields …, 2013 - APS
We consider general relativistic homogeneous gravitational collapses for dust and radiation.
We show that replacing the density profile with an effective density justified by some …

Equilibrium configurations from gravitational collapse

PS Joshi, D Malafarina, R Narayan - Classical and Quantum …, 2011 - iopscience.iop.org
We develop here a new procedure within Einstein's theory of gravity to generate equilibrium
configurations that result as the final state of gravitational collapse from regular initial …

Gravitational collapse: the story so far

PS Joshi - Pramana, 2000 - Springer
An outstanding problem in gravitation theory and relativistic astrophysics today is to
understand the final outcome of an endless gravitational collapse. Such a continual collapse …

Physical processes in naked singularity formation

T Harada, H Iguchi, K Nakao - Progress of Theoretical Physics, 2002 - academic.oup.com
Gravitational collapse is one of the most fruitful subjects in gravitational physics. It is well
known that singularity formation is inevitable in complete gravitational collapse. It was …

Strong curvature naked singularities in spherically symmetric perfect fluid collapse

K Mosani, D Dey, PS Joshi - Physical Review D, 2020 - APS
We investigate here the locally naked singularity formed due to a spherically symmetric
inhomogeneous collapsing cloud having nonzero isotropic pressure, in terms of its strength …

Nonlocal equation of state in anisotropic static fluid spheres in general relativity

H Hernández, LA Núñez - Canadian journal of physics, 2004 - cdnsciencepub.com
Nous montrons qu'il est possible d'obtenir, au moins certaines régions à l'intérieur de
configurations de matière statique sphériquement symétriques, de fluides anisotropes …

Comparing thin accretion disk properties of naked singularities and black holes

D Tahelyani, AB Joshi, D Dey, PS Joshi - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
In the present paper, we study the thermal properties of the geometrically thin accretion
disks surrounding the null naked singularity (NNS) and the first type of Joshi-Malafarina …

Global visibility of a strong curvature singularity in nonmarginally bound dust collapse

K Mosani, D Dey, PS Joshi - Physical Review D, 2020 - APS
We investigate here the local versus global visibility of a spacetime singularity formed due to
the gravitational collapse of a spherically symmetric dust cloud having a nonzero velocity …

Lense–Thirring effect and precession of timelike geodesics in slowly rotating black hole and naked singularity spacetimes

P Bambhaniya, JV Trivedi, D Dey, PS Joshi… - Physics of the Dark …, 2023 - Elsevier
