Gravitational collapse of k-essence
Ratindranath Akhoury, David Garfinkle, Ryo Saotome
We perform numerical simulations of the gravitational collapse of a k-essence scalar field. When the field is sufficiently strongly gravitating, a black hole forms. However, the bl…

Examining gravitational collapse with test scalar fields
Ryo Saotome, Ratindranath Akhoury, David Garfinkle
Numerical simulations are performed of a test scalar field in a spacetime undergoing gravitational collapse. The behavior of the scalar field near the singularity is examined and i…
