 Magnetospheric eternally collapsing object

A Magnetospheric Eternally Collapsing Object (MECO) is a theoretical concept in astrophysics proposed to explain certain astronomical phenomena, particularly in relation to black holes and neutron stars. The idea was put forward by physicists like Robert P. Kirshner and others, suggesting that a MECO could be a type of object that does not form a conventional event horizon like a black hole but instead possesses a strong magnetic field that influences its structure and behavior.
