Sources of Stellar Energy, Einstein- Eddington Timescale of Gravitational Contraction and Eternally Collapsing Objects
Abhas Mitra
We point out that although conventional stars are primarily fed by burning of nuclear fuel at their cores, in a strict sense, the process of release of stored gravitational energy,…
Why the observed black hole candidates do not show spin pulsation
Abhas Mitra
It is shown here that the so-called spinning Black Hole Candidates (BHCs) cannot be Black Holes (BHs) at all and, on the other hand, must be spinning hot Eternally Collapsing Objec…
On the non-occurrence of Type I X-ray bursts from the Black Hole Candidates
Abhas Mitra
It has been justifiably questioned that if the Black Hole Candidates (BHCs) have a ``hard surface'' why Type I X-ray bursts are not seen from them (Nayayan, R., Black Holes in Astr…
On the Probable Nature of the "Dark Particle Accelerators" Discovered by HESS
Abhas Mitra
We estimate that the vacuum electric field associated with a spinning Magnetospheric Eternally Collapsing Object MECO (www.phys.uni-sofia.bg/~astro/abbrev.html) could be higher by…
Comments on the proposal of Dark Energy Stars by Chapline
Abhas Mitra
We point out that the contentions of Chapline (astro-ph/0503200)[1] that (i) General Relativity (GR) is in conflict with Quantum Mechanics (QM) and (ii) GR fails even on macroscopi…
Why the astrophysical Black Hole Candidates may not be black holes at all
Abhas Mitra
In a recent paper[1], it has been shown that, there cannot be any rotating (Kerr) Black Hole (BH) with finite mass in order that the generic properties associated with the symmetri…
