Self-Similar Scalar Field Collapse: Naked Singularities and Critical Behaviour | | Patrick R Brady
; | | Date: |
16 Sep 1994 | | Journal: | Phys.Rev. D51 (1995) 4168-4176 | | Subject: | gr-qc | | Abstract: | Homothetic scalar field collapse is considered in this article. By making a suitable choice of variables the equations are reduced to an autonomous system. Then using a combination of numerical and analytic techniques it is shown that there are two classes of solutions. The first consists of solutions with a non-singular origin in which the scalar field collapses and disperses again. There is a singularity at one point of these solutions, however it is not visible to observers at finite radius. The second class of solutions includes both black holes and naked singularities with a critical evolution (which is neither) interpolating between these two extremes. The properties of these solutions are discussed in detail. The paper also contains some speculation about the significance of self-similarity in recent numerical studies. | | Source: | arXiv, gr-qc/9409035 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
