This article presents a new model-independent constraint for bouncing black hole geometries. Using the thin shell formalism, this constraint sets a bound on the minimal allowed radius of the time-like surface of the collapsing star at the bounce. It follows from this bound that the shell always bounces in an untrapped region or precisely on a trapping horizon. This constraint is of purely kinematical origin as it descends from the continuity of the metric between the geometries describing the interior and exterior of the collapsing object so that it is completely model-independent. The second part of this work investigates the conditions under which an effective extension of the Oppenheimer-Snyder collapse can describe consistent bouncing black hole solutions. We show that on top of the previous kinematical constraint, an additional dynamical condition has to be satisfied in order for the model to admit well-defined black-to-white hole solutions. As expected, this second condition turns out to be model-dependent. The resulting class of models describing bouncing compact objects are characterized by three parameters for the star (mass, initial radius and density) and two quantum parameters descending from the UV-completion of the exterior and interior geometries. The solution space contains (1) bouncing stars and (2) bouncing black holes and (3) a new class of astrophysical objects which alternate between a bouncing star and a bouncing black hole. Finally, we provide an explicit construction of a black-to-white hole bounce using the techniques of spatially closed LQC and discuss the novel properties induced by the presence of the inner horizon in this new framework. This generic framework lays down the foundation for interesting phenomenological investigations concerning the astrophysical properties of these objects, as well as a novel platform for further developments.

  1. Asymmetric Quantum Oppenheimer-Snyder Collapse

    gr-qc 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Asymmetric loop-quantum-cosmology collapse of a dust ball yields a geodesically complete, bouncing regular black hole spacetime with a C^0 shock at the dust surface and two joined vacuum geometries.

  2. The glow of eternal black holes

    gr-qc 2026-08 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    An eternal Schwarzschild black hole with an emitting surface at r=r_m would show a bright spot inside its shadow, whose interferometric visibility decays exponentially with baseline length.

  3. Non-uniqueness of the shockwave dynamics in effective loop quantum gravity

    gr-qc 2025-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In effective loop quantum gravity, an infinite family of mathematically equivalent collapse equations produce different weak solutions after shell crossing, so the predicted black hole lifetime (e.g., M^2, M^3, M^4) i...

  4. Entropy release from Minkowski breaking in regular Schwarzschild black holes

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    The inner Cauchy horizon of OCK regular Schwarzschild black holes carries an additional area entropy that must be released when the horizon disappears, yielding a discrete entropy ladder with Schwarzschild as ground state.

  5. An analytic model for a total process of gravitational collapse: From star to Schwarzschild black hole

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    An exact spherically symmetric analytic collapse model grows an apparent horizon H(t) from zero to 2M while hiding an integrable central singularity and preserving weak cosmic censorship without exotic matter.

  6. Testing loop quantum gravity by quasi-periodic oscillations: rotating blackholes

    gr-qc 2024-12 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    QPO data from GRO J1655-40 constrain the LQG parameter λ in the BCY rotating black hole metric to 0.15 (equal mass) and 0.11 (unequal mass), both consistent with Kerr.
