Abstract

We analyze several spherically symmetric exterior vacuum solutions allowed by the Einstein-Aether (EA) theory with a non static aether and study the thermodynamics of their Killing and universal horizons. We show that there are five classes of solutions corresponding to different values of a combination of the free parameters, c2c_{2}, c13=c1+c3c_{13}=c_1+c_3 and c14=c1+c4c_{14}=c_1+c_4, which are: (A) c20c_2 \ne 0 and c130c_{13} \ne 0 and c14=0c_{14}=0, (B) c20c_2 \ne 0 and c13=0c_{13} = 0 and c14=0c_{14} = 0, (C) c2=0c_2 = 0 and c130c_{13} \ne 0 and c14=0c_{14} = 0, (D) c2=0c_2 = 0, c13=0c_{13} = 0 and c140c_{14} \ne 0, and (E) c2=c130c_2 = - c_{13} \ne 0 and c140c_{14} \ne 0. We present explicit analytical solutions for these five cases. All these cases have singularities at r=0r=0 and are asymptotically flat spacetimes and possess both Killing and universal horizons with the universal horizons always being inside the Killing horizons. Finally, we compute the surface gravity, the temperature, the entropy and the first law of thermodynamics for the universal horizons.
