Time evolution of an optical image of a pressureless star under gravitational collapse is studied in the geometric optics approximation. The star surface is assumed to emit radiation obeying Lamberts cosine law but with an arbitrary spectral intensity in the comoving frame. We develop a formalism for predicting observable quantities by photon counting and by radiometry, in particular, spectral photon flux and spectral radiant flux. Then, this method is applied to the two cases: One is monochromatic radiation, and the other is blackbody radiation. The two kinds of spectral flux are calculated numerically for each case. It is reconfirmed that the redshift factor remains finite and the star becomes gradually invisible due to decay of the photon flux. We also develop an approximate method to present analytic formulas that describe the late time behavior. A possible connection of our study to observation of high-energy neutrinos is briefly discussed.

Is flipping a coin a deterministic process or a random one? We do not allow bounces. If we know the initial velocity and the spin given to the coin, mechanics should predict the face it lands on. However, the coin toss has been everyones introduction to probability and has been assumed to be the hallmark random process. So, whats going on here? This article discusses the problem first brought up by Keller in 1986 using a perspective tangential to the one used by Keller which leads us to new insight about the probability of getting heads.

We study the evolution of a self interacting scalar field in Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet theory in four dimension where the scalar field couples non minimally with the Gauss-Bonnet term. Considering a polynomial coupling of the scalar field with the Gauss- Bonnet term, a self-interaction potential and an additional perfect fluid distribution alongwith the scalar field, we investigate different possibilities regarding the outcome of the collapsing scalar field. The strength of the coupling and choice of the self-interaction potential serves as the pivotal initial conditions of the models presented. The high degree of non-linearity in the equation system is taken care off by using a method of invertibe point transformation of anharmonic oscillator equation, which has proven itself very useful in recent past while investigating dynamics of minimally coupled scalar fields.
The capability of the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) to image the nearest supermassive black hole candidates at horizon-scale resolutions offers a novel means to study gravity in its strongest regimes and to test different models for these objects. He re, we study the observational appearance at 230 GHz of a surfaceless black hole mimicker, namely a non-rotating boson star, in a scenario consistent with the properties of the accretion flow onto Sgr A*. To this end, we perform general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations followed by general relativistic radiative transfer calculations in the boson star space-time. Synthetic reconstructed images considering realistic astronomical observing conditions show that, despite qualitative similarities, the differences in the appearance of a black hole -- either rotating or not -- and a boson star of the type considered here are large enough to be detectable. These differences arise from dynamical effects directly related to the absence of an event horizon, in particular, the accumulation of matter in the form of a small torus or a spheroidal cloud in the interior of the boson star, and the absence of an evacuated high-magnetization funnel in the polar regions. The mechanism behind these effects is general enough to apply to other horizonless and surfaceless black hole mimickers, strengthening confidence in the ability of the EHT to identify such objects via radio observations.
Recently, the Thakurta metric has been adopted as a model of primordial black holes by several authors. We show that the spacetime described by this metric has neither black-hole event horizon nor black-hole trapping horizon and involves the violatio n of the null energy condition as a solution of the Einstein equation. Therefore, this metric does not describe a cosmological black hole in the early universe.
We analyze analytically and numerically the origin of the singularity in the course of the collapse of a wormhole with the exotic scalar field Psi with negative energy density, and with this field Psi together with the ordered magnetic field H. We do this under the simplifying assumptions of the spherical symmetry and that in the vicinity of the singularity the solution of the Einstein equations depends only on one coordinate (the homogeneous approximation). In the framework of these assumptions we found the principal difference between the case of the collapse of the ordinary scalar field Phi with the positive energy density together with an ordered magnetic field H and the collapse of the exotic scalar field Psi together with the magnetic field H. The later case is important for the possible astrophysical manifestation of the wormholes.
