SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on reputable papers and articles regarding black holes, particularly their formation and dynamics. The book "The Black Hole Wars" by Leonard Susskind is highlighted as a significant resource, alongside a technical article available at arxiv.org, which discusses black hole measurements and the existence of solid cores versus singularities. Additionally, the Schwarzschild theory is recommended for understanding the formation of black holes and their lifetimes.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of general relativity and its implications on black hole physics
  • Familiarity with the Schwarzschild solution and its relevance to black hole formation
  • Basic knowledge of astrophysical measurements and observational techniques
  • Mathematical proficiency to comprehend derivations related to black hole dynamics
NEXT STEPS
  • Read "The Black Hole Wars" by Leonard Susskind for insights on black hole theories
  • Explore the article on black hole measurements at arxiv.org for technical details
  • Investigate the Schwarzschild theory through resources like jila.colorado.edu for foundational concepts
  • Research current methods of detecting black holes and their characteristics in astrophysics
USEFUL FOR

Astrophysicists, students of theoretical physics, and anyone interested in the complexities of black hole formation and dynamics will benefit from this discussion.

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

How about the book the Black Hole Wars by Susskind.
 
This is one of my favourite articles on Blackhole measurements. Its very technical however any form of measurement done or theorized on Blackholes is covered in the article.

http://arxiv.org/abs/1104.5499

The article also covers different types of BH's and some possible methods of detecting whether it has a solid core or singularity. This is the answer the event horizon existence or non existence.

for more info on that see the recent thread "do Blackholes actually exist" the answer is not as easy to answer as one may beleive.
 
thanks. :D

i need a little more information about the theory of formation giants->black holes->lifetime
