New gravastar model in generalised cylindrically symmetric space–time and prediction of mass limit

Abstract

We present a class of new Gravastar solutions following the works of Mazur and Mottola for a Gravitational Bose–Einstein Condensate (GBEC) star in generalised cylindrically symmetric space–time. A stable gravastar consists of 3 distinct regions, namely: (i) an interior de-Sitter space (p=−ρ), which exerts an outwards repulsive force at all points on the thin shell, (ii) an intermediate thin shell with a slice of finite length separating the interior and exterior regions is supposed to be consisting of an ultra-relativistic stiff fluid, with the equation of state p=ρ and (iii) an exterior vacuum region. This thin shell, which is considered as the critical surface for the quantum phase transition, replaces both the classical de-Sitter space and Schwarzschild event horizon. The new solutions are free from any singularities. The energy density, total energy, proper length, and the entropy of this shell are explored in this model. From the thin shell solution and using Lanczos equations for stress energy density, we have predicted the mass contained into the gravastar shell. The stability of the gravastar model is analysed through the consideration of gravitational surface redshift and entropy calculation. We have also obtained a constraint on the possible mass of the thin shell without violating the condition for stable gravastar configuration. All these features indicate that the present model is physically viable.
