Dynamical stability of fluid spheres in spacetimes with a nonzero cosmological constant

The Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue equation for eigenmodes of the radial oscillations is determined for spherically symmetric perfect fluid configurations in spacetimes with a nonzero cosmological constant and applied in the cases of configurations with uniform distribution of energy density and polytropic spheres. It is shown that a repulsive cosmological constant rises the critical adiabatic index and decreases the critical radius under which the dynamical instability occurs.

Trapping of neutrinos in extremely compact stars

Trapping of neutrinos in extremely compact stars containing trapped null geodesics is studied. We calculated the ratio of produced to trapped neutrinos in the simplest model of uniform density stars. This gives the upper limit on trapping coefficients in real objects.

Visualizing spacetimes via embedding diagrams

It is hard to imagine curved spacetimes of General Relativity. A simple but powerful way how to achieve this is visualizing them via embedding diagrams of both ordinary geometry and optical reference geometry. They facilitate to gain an intuitive insight into the gravitational field rendered into a curved spacetime, and to assess the influence of parameters like electric charge and spin of a black hole, magnetic field or cosmological constant. Optical reference geometry and related inertial forces and their relationship to embedding diagrams are particularly useful for investigation of test particles motion. Embedding diagrams of static and spherically symmetric, or stationary and axially symmetric black-hole and naked-singularity spacetimes thus present a useful concept for intuitive understanding of these spacetimes' nature. We concentrate on general way of embedding into 3-dimensional Euclidean space, and give a set of illustrative examples.
