Abstract: The detection of gravitational waves by the Ligo-Virgo-Kagra collaboration, and the remarkable images produced by the EHT collaboration have opened new avenues into the study of highly compact objects in our universe. While observations suggest these objects are black holes, they don't rule out other possibilities. Black holes, however, create paradoxes that challenge well-established physical principles, leading to growing interest in horizonless ultra-compact objects — often called "black hole mimickers." To understand mimickers, we need concrete, well-motivated models that are both theoretically feasible and astrophysically relevant — something that's currently scarce. In this lightning talk, I will summarily present a class of mimickers called “Anti-deSitter black shells,” which provide a promising candidate model for further study.
