Magnetospheric eternally collapsing object

[Greta]

A ball of hot and compact magnetized plasma held in equilibrium against its self-gravity by radiation pressure rather than gas pressure. A [MECO] is so extremely
compact that its own radiation [quanta] move in almost closed
orbits due to self-gravity. Therefore, though the MECO
is extremely hot and luminous to a local observer it
appears as almost Black to astronomers. According to
[Abhas] [Mitra], an Indian astrophysicist, and several other astrophysicists, the so-called Black Hole Candidates are actually [MECOs] rather than true Black Holes.
