Extreme objects with arbitrary large mass, or density, and arbitrary size

We consider a generalization of the interior Schwarzschild solution that we match to the exterior one to build global C^1 models that can have arbitrary large mass, or density, with arbitrary size. This is possible because of a new insight into the problem of localizing the center of symmetry of the models and the use of principal transformations to understand the structure of space.Comment: 20 pages, 6 figures.

Separating expansion from contraction: generalized TOV condition, LTB models with pressure and Λ\LambdaCDM

We discuss the existence of a dividing shell separating expanding and collapsing regions in spherically symmetric solutions with pressure. We obtain gauge invariant conditions relating not only the intrinsic spatial curvature of the shells to the ADM mass, but also a function of the pressure which we introduce that generalises the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff equilibrium condition, in the framework of a 3+1 spacetime splitting. We consider the particular case of a Lema\^itre-Tolman-Bondi dust models with a cosmological constant (a $\Lambda$-CDM model) as an example of our results.Comment: Proceedings of 'Invisible Universe International Conference', Paris, June 29- July 3, 2009 ; 5pp, 4 fig

Separating expansion from contraction and generalizing TOV condition in spherically symmetric models with pressure

We investigate spherically symmetric solutions with pressure and discuss the existence of a dividing shell separating expanding and collapsing regions. We perform a 3+1 splitting and obtain gauge invariant conditions relating not only the intrinsic spatial curvature of the shells to the ADM mass, but also a function of the pressure which we introduce that generalises the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff equilibrium condition.

Gravity of a static massless scalar field and a limiting Schwarzschild-like geometry

We study a set of static solutions of the Einstein equations in presence of a massless scalar field and establish their connection to the Kantowski-Sachs cosmological solutions based on some kind of duality transformations. The physical properties of the limiting case of an empty hyperbolic spacetime (pseudo-Schwarzschild geometry) are analyzed in some detail.Comment: 13 pages, 4 figure

Eleven spherically symmetric constant density solutions with cosmological constant

Einstein's field equations with cosmological constant are analysed for a static, spherically symmetric perfect fluid having constant density. Five new global solutions are described. One of these solutions has the Nariai solution joined on as an exterior field. Another solution describes a decreasing pressure model with exterior Schwarzschild-de Sitter spacetime having decreasing group orbits at the boundary. Two further types generalise the Einstein static universe. The other new solution is unphysical, it is an increasing pressure model with a geometric singularity.Comment: 19 pages, 5 figures, 1 table, revised bibliography, corrected eqn.

Electrooptical scanning of film

Scan-in scan-out flying spot scanning system recognizes three different levels of transmissivity within a frame. It selectively acts on these levels either to intensify the illumination or to extend the duration of the illuminating spot to any picture element. Thus it improves the ratio of signal to tube noise in the cameras output
