One of the very small number of serious alternatives to the usual concept of an astrophysical black hole is the "gravastar" model developed by Mazur and Mottola; and a related phase-transition model due to Laughlin et al. We consider a generalized class of similar models that exhibit continuous pressure -- without the presence of infinitesimally thin shells. By considering the usual TOV equation for static solutions with negative central pressure, we find that gravastars cannot be perfect fluids -- anisotropic pressures in the "crust" of a gravastar-like object are unavoidable. The anisotropic TOV equation can then be used to bound the pressure anisotropy. The transverse stresses that support a gravastar permit a higher compactness than is given by the Buchdahl--Bondi bound for perfect fluid stars. Finally we comment on the qualitative features of the equation of state that gravastar material must have if it is to do the desired job of preventing horizon formation.

Self-Forces as Nonlocal Probes of Gravastar Interiors
Static scalar and electric charges near a thin-shell gravastar experience self-forces different from those near a black hole, with analytic leading-order formulas.

Horizonless star based on regular black hole with finite radius and its observational signatures

Positive neutrino masses with DESI DR2 via matter conversion to dark energy
A model where stellar collapse to cosmologically coupled black holes converts baryons into dark energy, fit to DESI DR2 and Planck data, yields a positive summed neutrino mass around 0.05 to 0.11 eV, in agreement with...

Herrera Complexity and Shadows of Spherically Symmetric Compact Objects
The sign of the Herrera complexity factor at a light ring indicates whether that ring is a stable or unstable photon sphere, and zero-complexity compact objects cannot host external photon spheres.

Anisotropic gravastar as horizonless regular black hole spacetime and its images illuminated by thin accretion disk
The authors build an anisotropic gravastar model whose pressure profile and cut-off make it interpolate between a Hayward regular black hole and a horizonless ultracompact star, then compute shadow images for two accr...

Revisiting Schwarzschild's constant density star in isotropic coordinates
Re-derivation of the constant-density star in isotropic coordinates produces a transparent metric and highlights under-appreciated special cases including pressure gravitating alone and naked singularities.
