Gravitational fields with sources, regular black holes, quasiblack holes, and analogue black holes

We discuss recent developments in gravitational fields with sources, regular black holes, quasiblack holes, and analogue black holes, related to the talks presented at the corresponding Parallel Session AT3 of the 13th Marcel Grossmann Meeting.Comment: Report of the Parallel Session AT3 at the Marcel Grossmann Meeting 13, Stockholm 2012, Proceedings of the Conference. 9 page
