Recent developments in gravitational collapse and spacetime singularities
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 …

Sound speeds, cracking and the stability of self-gravitating anisotropic compact objects
Using the concept of cracking we explore the influence that density fluctuations and local
anisotropy have on the stability of local and non-local anisotropic matter configurations in …

Why do naked singularities form in gravitational collapse?
We investigate the key physical features that cause the development of a naked singularity,
rather than a black hole, as the end state of spherical gravitational collapse. We show that …

Conformally flat anisotropic spheres in general relativity
In the study of self-gravitating systems there are three factors whose relevance has been
recurrently and separately stressed in the literature. These are, the Weyl tensor, the local …

Physical processes in naked singularity formation
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 …
