Abstract

Description Complete phase diagram of compact objects in CCEGA with G_eff(ρ) = G_N·exp(−ρ/ρ_c). Three regimes emerge from two critical masses: M_max = 2.330 M☉ (neutron star limit, P34) and M_crit = 9.20 M☉ (horizon formation threshold, P35). Novel intermediate regime 2.33–9.20 M☉: ultracompact horizonless CCEGA objects absent in GR. GW190814 secondary (2.59 M☉) falls in this regime. Phase boundaries depend on ρ_c — independent observational constraint. CCEGA Program Paper 36.
