Astrophysics of Wormholes

Abstract

We consider the hypothesis that some active galactic nuclei and other compact astrophysical objects may be current or former entrances to wormholes. A broad mass spectrum for astrophysical wormholes is possible. We consider various new models of the static wormholes including wormholes maintained mainly by an electromagnetic field. We also discuss observational effects of a single entrance to wormhole and a model for a binary astrophysical system formed by the entrances of wormholes with magnetic fields and consider its possible manifestation.
