We construct an exact solution for the spherical gravitational collapse in a single coordinate patch. To describe the dynamics of collapse, we use a generalized form of the Painlev\'e-Gullstrand coordinates in the Schwarzschild spacetime.…
We introduce a new family of horizon-penetrating coordinate systems for the Schwarzschild black hole geometry featuring time coordinates that are Cauchy temporal functions for which the level sets are smooth, asymptotically flat, spacelike…
We find a specific coordinate system that goes from the Painlev\'e-Gullstrand partial extension to the Kruskal-Szekeres maximal extension and thus exhibit the maximal extension of the Schwarzschild metric in a unified picture. We do this by…
We describe a simple family of analytical coordinate systems for the Schwarzschild spacetime. The coordinates penetrate the horizon smoothly and are spatially isotropic. Spatial slices of constant coordinate time $t$ feature a trumpet…
A strict derivation of the Schwarzschild metric, based solely on Newton's law of free fall and the equivalence principle, is presented. In the light of it, regarding Schwarzschild's coordinates as representing the point of view of a distant…
The Painleve-Gullstrand coordinates provide a convenient framework for presenting the Schwarzschild geometry because of their flat constant-time hypersurfaces, and the fact that they are free of coordinate singularities outside r=0.…
A simple observation about the action for geodesics in a stationary spacetime with separable geodesic equations leads to a natural class of slicings of that spacetime whose orthogonal geodesic trajectories represent freely falling…
Making use of the higher dimensional global embedding Minkowski spacetime (GEMS), we embed (3+1)-dimensional Schwarzschild and Reissner-Nordstr\"om (RN) black holes written by the Painlev\'e-Gullstrand (PG) spacetimes, which have…
The Painleve-Gullstrand coordinates are extended to describe the black hole in the cosmological environment: the Schwarzschild-de-Sitter black hole, which has two horizons. The extension is made using the Arnowitt-Deser-Misner formalism. In…
Painlev\'e-Gullstrand coordinates, a very useful tool in spherical horizon thermodynamics, fail in anti-de Sitter space and in the inner region of Reissner-Nordstr\"om. We predict this breakdown to occur in any region containing negative…
We investigate a foliation of Schwarzschild spacetime determined by observers freely falling in the radial direction. This is described using a generalisation of Gullstrand-Painlev\'e coordinates which allows for any possible radial…
We show that the Novikov coordinates can be obtained in a direct and physically transparent way from the radial geodesics of massive particles with negative energy in the Schwarzschild spacetime. These geodesics form a complete congruence…
Tidal perturbations play an important role in the study of the dynamics in the classical two-body system. Understanding tidal effects in strong-field regions may allow one to use gravitational-wave or electromagnetic observations to locate…
The extreme Schwarzschild-de Sitter space-time is a spherically symmetric solution of Einstein's equations with a cosmological constant Lambda and mass parameter m>0 which is characterized by the condition that 9 Lambda m^2=1. The global…
We analyze the observational features of hot-spots orbiting parametrized black hole (BH) spacetimes. We select a total of four BH spacetimes, two from the Johanssen-Psaltis (JP) parametrization, and two from the Konoplya-Zhidenko (KZ)…
We generalize the Oppenheimer-Snyder model of gravitational collapse by considering a broader class of static, spherically symmetric exterior spacetimes, with an interior geometry described by a Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW)…
The principle of equivalence is used to examine covariant descriptions of quantum phenomena within the global exterior of geometries described using Painlev\'e- Gullstrand coordinates, which are everywhere non-singular away from their…
A nonstatic Schwarzschild black hole interior solution in Painleve-Gullstrand coordinates is proposed in this paper, by means of a coordinate transformation that changes the spatial coordinate but the timelike one is preserved. The timelike…
In this article we model a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) in a Schwarzschild space-time, as a first approximation of the relativistic geometry around the Earth. The closed time-like and scattering light-like geodesics are…
We present a discussion of the periodicity in imaginary time of maximally extended black hole spacetimes without reference to Euclidean manifolds. As motivation, we first demonstrate our approach for the Rindler geometry in flat space…
