Any decent papers/articles on black holes, their formation, dynamics, etc?
Moderate amount of maths and derivations involved would be great!

A black hole is a region in space where the gravitational pull is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape it. This occurs when a massive star dies and collapses under its own gravity, creating a singularity - a point of infinite density and zero volume.
Black holes are formed when a massive star dies and collapses under its own gravity. This can also happen when two or more smaller black holes merge together, or when a large amount of matter falls into a black hole, increasing its mass and gravitational pull.
The event horizon is the boundary around a black hole where the escape velocity exceeds the speed of light. This is the point of no return, where anything that crosses the event horizon will be pulled into the black hole and cannot escape.
Scientists study black holes by observing their effects on surrounding matter and light. This can be done using telescopes that detect X-rays and other forms of radiation emitted by matter falling into a black hole. Gravitational waves, ripples in space-time, can also be detected and studied to understand the properties of black holes.
Currently, black holes are one of the most mysterious objects in the universe. Scientists have been able to observe and study them, but there are still many unanswered questions about their nature and behavior. The theory of general relativity, proposed by Albert Einstein, explains many aspects of black holes, but there is ongoing research to further understand these enigmatic objects.
