Magnetospheric eternally collapsing object

The magnetospheric eternally collapsing object (MECO) is an alternative model for black holes initially proposed by Indian scientist Abhas Mitra in 1998[1][2][3] and later generalized by American researchers Darryl J. Leiter and Stanley L. Robertson.[4] A proposed observable difference between MECOs and black holes is that a MECO can produce its own intrinsic magnetic field. An uncharged black hole cannot produce its own magnetic field, though its accretion disk can.[1]
