Horizon quantum mechanics for spheroidal sources

We start investigating the extension of the horizon quantum mechanics to the case of non-spherical sources. We first study the location of trapping surfaces in space-times resulting from an axial deformation of static isotropic systems, and show that the Misner-Sharp mass evaluated on the corresponding undeformed spherically symmetric space provides the correct gravitational radius to locate the horizon. We finally propose a way to determine the deformation parameter in the quantum theory. Copyright (C) EPLA, 2018
