We propose a relativistic model for quintessence stars with the combination of an anisotropic pressure corresponding to normal matter and a quintessence dark energy having a characteristic parameter ωq such that -1 <ωq < - 1/3. We discuss various physical features of the model and show that the model satisfies all the regularity conditions and can provide stable equilibrium configurations.
It is still a challenging problem to the theoretical physicists to know the exact nature of the galactic dark matter which causes the galactic rotational velocity to be more or less a constant. We have proposed that the dark matter as an effect of f(T) gravity. Assuming the flat rotation curves as input we have shown that f(T) gravity can explain galactic dynamics. Here, we don' have to introduce dark matter. Spacetime metric inspired by f(T) gravity describes the region up to which the tangential velocity of the test particle is constant. This inherent property appears to be enough to produce stable circular orbits as well as attractive gravity.
Dark matter, the major component of the matter content of the Universe, played a significant role at early stages during structure formation. But at present the Universe is dark energy dominated as well as accelerating. Here, the presence of dark energy has been established by including a time-dependent $Λ$ term in the Einstein's field equations. This model is compatible with the idea of an accelerating Universe so far as the value of the deceleration parameter is concerned. Possibility of a change in sign of the deceleration parameter is also discussed. The impact of considering the speed of light as variable in the field equations has also been investigated by using a well known time-dependent $Λ$ model.
This paper discusses a new wormhole solution that admits conformal motion, given a noncommutative-geometry background. After a discussion of the wormhole geometry and the energy conditions, the analysis proceeds with the calculation of the active gravitational mass, a discussion of the TOV equation describing the equilibrium conditions, as well as the nature of the total gravitational energy. The wormhole spacetime is not asymptotically flat and is therefore cut off at some radial distance and joined to an exterior vacuum solution.
The Bañados, Teitelboim and Zanelli\cite{BTZ} solution corresponding to the exterior space-time of a black hole in $(2+1)$ dimensions has been found to be very useful to understand various aspects relating to the gravitational field of a black hole. We present here a class of interior solutions corresponding to the BTZ exterior by making use of a model presented by Finch and Skea\cite{Finch} which was earlier found to be relevant for the description realistic stars in $(3+1)$ dimensions. We show physical viability of the model in lower dimensions as well.
We construct a new type of thin-shell wormhole for non-asymptotically flat charged black holes in generalized dilaton-axion gravity inspired by low-energy string theory using cut-and-paste technique. We have shown that this thin shell wormhole is stable. The most striking feature of our model is that the total amount of exotic matter needed to support the wormhole can be reduced as desired with the suitable choice of the value of a parameter. Various other aspects of thin-shell wormhole are also analyzed.
We obtain the space time of the galactic core in the framework of general relativity by taking the flat rotational curve as input and considering the matter content in the galactic core region as strange quark matter. We also obtain the energy density, radial and tangential pressures of the core strange quark matter. Significantly we have shown that Bag Constant takes an important role to stabilize the circular orbit of the test particles. We also give a limit of the Bag Constant for the existence of quark matter in the galactic halo region.
We provide a new matter source that supplies fuel to construct wormhole spacetime. The exact wormhole solutions are found in the model having, besides real matter, an anisotropic dark energy. We have shown that the exotic matters that are the necessary ingredients for wormhole physics violate null and weak energy conditions but obey strong energy condition marginally. Though the wormhole comprises of exotic matters yet the effective mass remains positive. We have calculated the effective mass of the wormhole up to 8 km from the throat (assuming throat radius as 4 km) as $1.3559M_\odot $. Some physical features are briefly discussed.
In this paper a Banados, Teitelboim and Zanelli (BTZ) black hole is constructed from an exact solution of the Einstein field equations in a (2+1)-dimensional anti-de Sitter spacetime in the context of noncommutative geometry. The BTZ black hole turns out to have two horizons, no horizon or a single horizon corresponding to a minimal mass. Certain thermodynamical properties are investigated, including Hawking temperature, entropy and heat capacity. Also discussed is the geodesic structure of BTZ black holes for both massless and massive particles. In particular, it is shown that bound orbits for test particles are possible.
Stars can be treated as self-gravitating fluid. In this connection, we propose a model for an anisotropic star under the relativistic framework of Krori-Barua (1975) spacetime. It is shown that the solutions are regular and singularity free. The uniqueness of the model is that interior physical properties of the star solely depend on the central density of the matter distribution.
Noncommutative geometry, an offshoot of string theory, replaces point-like structures with smeared objects and has recently been extended to higher dimensions. The purpose of this letter is to obtain wormhole solutions with this extended noncommutative geometry as a background. It is found through this investigation that wormhole solutions exist in the usual four, as well as in five dimensions, but they do not exist in higher-dimensional spacetimes.
Recently the small value of the cosmological constant and its ability to accelerate the expansion of the Universe is of great interest. We discuss the possibility of forming of anisotropic compact stars from this cosmological constant as one of the competent candidates of dark energy. For this purpose we consider the analytical solution of Krori and Barua metric. We take the radial dependence of cosmological constant and check all the regularity conditions, TOV equations, stability and surface redshift of the compact stars. It has been shown as conclusion that this model is valid for any compact star and we have cited $4U 1820-30$ as a specific example of that kind of star.
Stars can be treated as self-gravitating fluid. Krori and Barua (1975) gave an analytical solutions to that kind of fluids. In this connection, we propose a de-Sitter model for an anisotropic strange star with the Krori-Barua spacetime. We incorporate the existence of cosmological constant in a small scale to study the structure of anisotropic strange stars and come to conclusion that this doping is very much compatible with the well known physical features of strange stars.
We present some new types of non-singular model for anisotropic stars with constant $Λ$ and variable $Λ$ based on the Krori and Barua (KB) metric in $(2+1)$ dimensions. The solutions obtained here satisfy all the regularity conditions and its simple analytical form helps us to study the various physical properties of the configuration.
In the present work we have searched the existence of the late time acceleration of the Universe. The matter source that is responsible for the late time acceleration of the Universe consists of cosmic fluid with the equation of state parameter $ω=\frac{p}ρ$ and uniform magnetic field of energy density $ρ_{B}$. The study is done here under the framework of spatially homogeneous and anisotropic locally rotationally symmetric (LRS) Bianchi-I cosmological model in the presence of magnetized dark energy. To get the deterministic model of the Universe, we assume that the shear scalar $(σ)$ in the model is proportional to expansion scalar $(θ)$. This condition leads to $A=B^{n}$, where $A$ and $B$ are metric functions and $n$ is a positive constant giving the proportionality condition between shear and expansion scalar. It has been found that the isotropic distribution of magnetized dark energy leads to the present accelerated expansion of the Universe and the derived model is in good agreement with the recent astrophysical observations. The physical behavior of the Universe has been discussed in details.
We propose a spherically symmetric and anisotropic model for strange quark stars within the framework of MIT Bag model. Though the model is found to comply with all the physical requirements of a realistic star satisfying a strange matter equation of state (EOS), the estimated values the Bag constant for different strange star candidates like Her X-1, SAX J 1808.4-3658 and 4U 1820-30, clearly indicate that the Bag constant need not necessarily lie within the range of 60-80 MeV fm$^{-3}$ as claimed in the literature.
This is a continuation and generalization of our earlier work on {\it gravastar} in (2+1) anti-de Sitter space-time to 2+1 dimensional solution of charged gravastar. Morphologically this gravastar contains three regions namely: (i) charged interior, (ii) charged shell and (iii) electrovacuum exterior. We have studied different characteristics in terms of Length and Energy, Entropy, and Junction conditions of the spherical charged distribution. It is shown that the present model of charged gravastar is non-singular and represents itself an alternative of Black Hole.
Considering the flat rotation curves as input and treating the matter content in the galactic halo region as quark matter, we have found out a background spacetime metric for the region of the galactic halo. We obtain fairly general conditions that ensure that gravity in the halo region is attractive. We also investigate the stability of circular orbits, along with a different role for quark matter. Bag-model quark matter meeting these conditions therefore provides a suitable model for dark matter.
