Abstract

We constructed thin-shell wormholes using the well-known “cut and paste” technique for static black holes sourced by an anisotropic fluid within the context of the Rastall gravity. Using the generalized Lanczos equations we explored the energy conditions at the wormhole’s throat along with the traversability condition. We determined the stability regions when the wormhole configurations are surrounded by different bulk sources and obtained that the stability regions are considerably modified due to the non-trivial dependence of the Rastall parameter in the effective potential energy.
