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 …

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 …

Globally visible singularity in an astrophysical setup

K Mosani, D Dey, PS Joshi - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2021 - academic.oup.com
The global visibility of a singularity as an end state of the gravitational collapse of a
spherically symmetric pressureless cloud is investigated. We show the existence of a non …

The role of topological photon spheres in constraining the parameters of black holes

J Sadeghi, MAS Afshar - Astroparticle Physics, 2024 - Elsevier
In this paper, we investigate the topological photon sphere from two distinct perspectives. In
the first view, we examine the existence and characteristics of topological photon (anti …

Light trajectory and shadow shape in the rotating naked singularity

V Patel, D Tahelyani, AB Joshi, D Dey… - The European Physical …, 2022 - Springer
In this paper, we investigate the light trajectories and shadow properties in the rotating
version of null naked singularity (NNS) spacetime which is derived using the Newman–Janis …

Energy extraction from Janis-Newman-Winicour naked singularity

V Patel, K Acharya, P Bambhaniya, PS Joshi - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
In general, energy extraction methods such as the Penrose process and the magnetic
Penrose process are thought to be reliant on the existence of an ergoregion. Inside an …

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 …

Naked singularity as a possible source of ultra-high energy cosmic rays

K Acharya, K Pandey, P Bambhaniya, PS Joshi… - arxiv preprint arxiv …, 2023 - arxiv.org
The source of Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECRs) remains one of the greatest
mysteries in astrophysics. Their possible source can be the galactic nuclei, where the ultra …

Dissipative cylindrical collapse of charged anisotropic fluid

S Guha, R Banerji - International Journal of Theoretical Physics, 2014 - Springer
We have studied the dynamics of a cylindrical column of anisotropic, charged fluid which is
experiencing dissipation in the form of heat flow, free-streaming radiation, and shearing …

Toward a midisuperspace quantization of Lemaître-Tolman-Bondi collapse models

C Vaz, L Witten, TP Singh - Physical review D, 2001 - APS
Abstract LeMaître-Tolman-Bondi models of spherical dust collapse have been used and
continue to be used extensively to study various stellar collapse scenarios. It is by now well …
