| Abstract: | Conclusions The above qualitative analysis of the evolution of astrophysical objects shows that in the field theory of gravitation with minimal coupling objects in the regionM/a<1/3 of values of the mean gravitational potential are stable to small perturbations of their radius with unchanged rest mass.However, the mean gravitational potential of these objects increases when they capture matter surrounding them. When the mean potential reaches the valueM/a=1/3, the object passes abruptly from an infinitely stable state to an infinitely unstable state (with respect to small perturbations of its radius). Therefore, even small perturbations in the radius of the object once the critical value of the mean gravitational potential has been reached necessarily lead to expansion of the matter, which may be accompanied by the ejection of mass of this object and the release of energy.Therefore, instead of gravitational collapse, the outcome of the instability of astrophysical objects in general relativity, in the present theory there is a new mechanism of energy release.Scientific-Research Institute of Nuclear Physics at the Moscow State University.
