SEARCH FOR TRAVERSABLE WORMHOLES IN CURRENT OBSERVATIONAL DATA

Sazhina O. S., Moiseev I. A.

The paper presents some methods and preliminary results of the observational search for traversable wormholes (WHs). The basic model system under consideration is a traversable WH of the simplest type (a stitching of two Schwarzschild spaces), object A on the other, unobservable, side of the WH throat and object B on the observable side. A number of real objects, currently identified as black holes (BHs), are taken as candidates for WH. BHs of stellar masses in double systems are considered, as well as a supermassive BH in the center of the Galaxy. The objects A and B are stars of different classes. The main theoretical model is based on the search for an additional perturbing acceleration and its characteristic systematic influence on the observed motions of objects in the vicinity of the supposed WH candidates. Data from the GAIA space observatory are used to test the model. In order to verify the model, a catalog of the most promising double objects is compiled. For some real systems, the perturbing additional accelerations and the characteristic velocity periodicities caused by them are estimated. The intriguing prospects for the observation of WHs in connection with the DESI recent data (in estimations of the parameter of the equation of state of dark energy) are indicated.
