Abstract

We consider the dynamical stability of a class of static, spherically-symmetric solutions of the nonsymmetric gravitational theory. We numerically reproduce the Wyman solution and generate new solutions for the case where the theory has a nontrivial fundamental length scale \mu^{-1}. By considering spherically symmetric perturbations of these solutions we show that the Wyman solutions are generically unstable.
