Defrosting the Born-Infeld dyonic frozen star with tachyon matter: spectrum of oscillations

Ram Brustein, A. J. M. Medved, Tamar Simhon

The frozen star is a model for the interior of an astrophysical black hole that is externally indistinguishable from the singular geometry of a Schwarzschild black hole, even thoug…

Formation of Frozen Stars from collapsing matter by tunneling

Ram Brustein, A. J. M. Medved, Tamar Simhon

The frozen star is a type of black hole mimicker: An ultracompact object whose exterior geometry resembles that of a general-relativistic black hole but differs in its matter compo…

Defrosting frozen stars: spectrum of non-radial oscillations

Ram Brustein, A. J. M. Medved, Tom Shindelman

The frozen star model describes a type of black hole mimicker; that is, a regular, horizonless, ultracompact object that behaves just like a Schwarzschild black hole from an extern…

Sourcing the Kerr geometry

Ram Brustein, A. J. M. Medved

The Kerr metric is a vacuum solution of the Einstein equations outside of a rotating black hole, but what interior matter is actually rotating and sourcing the Kerr geometry? Here,…

Black holes as frozen stars: Regular interior geometry

Ram Brustein, A. J. M. Medved, Tom Shindelman +1

We have proposed a model geometry for the interior of a regular black hole mimicker, the frozen star, whose most startling feature is that each spherical shell in its interior is a…

Black holes as frozen stars

Ram Brustein, A. J. M. Medved, Tamar Simhon

We have recently proposed a model for a regular black hole, or an ultra-compact object, that is premised on having maximally negative radial pressure throughout the entirety of the…
