Observational aspects of a class of Dark matter spacetimes

Ashok B. Joshi, Divya Tahelyani, Dipanjan Dey +1

Various astrophysical and cosmological observations today serve as an indirect evidence of the existence of dark matter in the universe. In the present work, we propose a class of…

Relativistic orbits of S2 star in the presence of scalar field

Parth Bambhaniya, Ashok B. Joshi, Dipanjan Dey +4

The general theory of relativity predicts the relativistic effect in the orbital motions of S-stars which are orbiting around our Milky-way galactic center. The post-Newtonian or h…

Singularity resolution in gravitational collapse

Karim Mosani, Dipanjan Dey, Kaushik Bhattacharya +1

We investigate the unhindered gravitational collapse of a homogeneous scalar field with nonzero potential, a two-dimensional analog of the Mexican hat-shaped Higgs field potential.…

Comparing Shadows of Blackhole and Naked Singularity

Kanwar Preet Kaur, Pankaj S. Joshi, Dipanjan Dey +2

It is now theoretically well established that not only a black hole can cast shadow, but other compact objects such as naked singularities, gravastar or boson stars can also cast s…

Causal Structure of Singularity in non-spherical Gravitational Collapse

Dipanjan Dey, Pankaj S. Joshi, Karim Mosani +1

We investigate here the final state of gravitational collapse of a non-spherical and non-marginally bound dust cloud as modeled by the Szekeres spacetime. We show that a directiona…

Towards an observational test of black hole versus naked singularity at the galactic center

Dipanjan Dey, Pankaj S. Joshi, Ashok Joshi +1

While the event horizon of a black hole could cast a shadow that was observed recently, a central singularity without horizon could also give rise to such a feature. This leaves us…

Shadows and negative precession in non-Kerr spacetime

Parth Bambhaniya, Dipanjan Dey, Ashok B. Joshi +3

It is now known that the shadow is not only the property of a black hole, it can also be cast by other compact objects like naked singularities. However, there exist some novel fea…
