Boson stars driven to the brink of black hole formation
Scott H. Hawley, Matthew W. Choptuik
We present a study of black hole threshold phenomena for a self-gravitating, massive complex scalar field in spherical symmetry. We construct Type I critical solutions dynamically…
Gravitational collapse in 2+1 dimensional AdS spacetime
Frans Pretorius, Matthew W. Choptuik
We present results of numerical simulations of the formation of black holes from the gravitational collapse of a massless, minimally-coupled scalar field in 2+1 dimensional, axiall…
Locating Boosted Kerr and Schwarzschild Apparent Horizons
Mijan F. Huq, Matthew W. Choptuik, Richard A. Matzner
We describe a finite-difference method for locating apparent horizons and illustrate its capabilities on boosted Kerr and Schwarzschild black holes. Our model spacetime is given by…
