Abstract
We discuss ultracompact stellar objects which have multiple necks in their optical geometry. There are in fact physically reasonable equations of state for which the number of necks can be arbitrarily large. The proofs of these statements rely on a recent regularized formulation of the field equations for static spherically symmetric models due to Nilsson and Uggla. We discuss in particular the equation of state p=\rho-\rho_s which plays a central role in this context.
