How Black Are Black Hole Candidates? Darryl J. Leiter, FSTC, Charlottesville, VA, Stanley L. Robertson, Dept of Physics, Southwestern Oklahoma State University In a paper submitted to ApJ in 2002 (astro-ph/0208333) we review and extend previously discussed observational evidence (Robertson and Leiter, ApJ, vol 565, pg 447) which supports the existence of intrinsically magnetized central objects in GBHC and show that it is consistent with a new class of solutions of the Einstein field equations of General Relativity. Based on a strict adherence to the Principle of Equivalence, the new solutions dynamically prevent the time-like geodesics of physical matter from becoming null on trapped surfaces of infinite red shift. We show that the new solutions to the Einstein field equations represent the existence of highly red shifted, magnetospheric, eternally collapsing objects (MECO) which do not have trapped surfaces leading to event horizons. They emerge from the fact that the structure and radiation transfer properties of the energy-momentum tensor on the right hand side of the Einstein field equations must have a form that is dynamically consistent with the strict Principle of Equivalence requirement. Since the highly redshifted MECO have lifetimes which are many orders of magnitude greater than a Hubble time, they replace black hole models with an elegant, consistent, and unified framework for understanding the broad range of observations associated with GBHC and active galactic nuclei.
