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…

Kerr Black hole mimickers sourced by a string fluid

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

We present rotating solutions of Einstein's gravity coupled to an effective Born-Infeld theory that describes the end of open-string tachyon condensation after the decay of an unst…

Thermodynamics of frozen stars

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

The frozen star is a recent proposal for a non-singular solution of Einstein's equations that describes an ultracompact object which closely resembles a black hole from an external…

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…
