On the electromagnetic field of a charged collapsing spherical shell in general relativity

Astrophysics 2009-11-07 v1 General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology

Abstract

A new exact solution of the Einstein-Maxwell equations for the gravitational collapse of a shell of matter in an already formed black hole is given. Both the shell and the black hole are endowed with electromagnetic structure and are assumed spherically symmetric. Implications for current research are outlined.
