The problem of a spherically symmetric charged thin shell of dust collapsing gravitationally into a charged Reissner-Nordstr\"om black hole in $d$ spacetime dimensions is studied within the theory of general relativity. Static charged…
We study black holes produced by the collapse of a spherically symmetric charged scalar field in asymptotically flat space. We employ a late time expansion and show decaying fluxes of radiation through the event horizon imply the black hole…
An extremal Reissner-Nordstr\"om black hole can form in finite time in the gravitational collapse of a massless charged scalar field. The proof of this is based on the method of characteristic gluing, which involves making an Ansatz for the…
The dynamics of the gravitational collapse is examined in the realm of string based formalism of D-branes that encompass General Relativity as a low energy limit. A complete analytical solution is given to the spherically symmetric collapse…
We study the observation of a thin dust shell, radially freely falling to a Reissner-Nordstrom black hole, by an observer who is also freely and radially falling into this black hole. Considered and resolved are several common paradoxes and…
The weak cosmic censorship conjecture asserts that spacetime singularities that arise in gravitational collapse are always hidden inside of black holes, invisible to distant observers. This conjecture, put forward by Penrose more than four…
We construct here a special class of perfect fluid collapse models which generalizes the homogeneous dust collapse solution in order to include non-zero pressures and inhomogeneities into evolution. It is shown that a black hole is…
We examine the gravitational collapse and black hole formation of multiple non--spherical configurations constructed from Szekeres dust models with positive spatial curvature that smoothly match to a Schwarzschild exterior. These…
A concentric charged thin-shell encircling a Reissner-Nordstr\"{o}m black hole screens the clectric / magnetic charge completely to match with an external Schwarzschild black hole. The negative mass thin-shell is shown to be stable against…
The Reissner Nordstrom (RN) black hole is characterized by two well known pathologies: a central singularity and an inner horizon associated with instabilities and a potential loss of predictability. In this work, we show that the RN…
We analytically study scalarization of higher-dimensional charged Reissner-Nordstr\"{o}m (RN) black hole. It is shown that static massive scalar field which is non-minimally coupled to Gauss-Bonnet invariant can be supported by…
We investigate the existence of Reissner-Nordstr\"om (RN) type black holes in f(R) gravity. Our emphasis is to derive, in the presence of electrostatic source, the necessary conditions which provide such static, spherically symmetric (SSS)…
A black hole is the end state of the gravitational collapse of massive stars. However, a typical black hole contains a singularity and to avoid singularity formation we have to violate a strong energy condition that states that gravity must…
We study dynamical gravitational collapse in a theory with an infinite tower of higher-derivative corrections to the Einstein-Hilbert action and we show that, under very general conditions, it leads to the formation of regular black holes.…
The gravitational collapse of a pressureless fluid in general relativity (Oppenheimer-Snyder collapse) results in a black hole. The study of the same phenomenon in the brane-world scenario has shown that the exterior of the collapsing dust…
We reveal the existence of a new form of spontaneously scalarized black-hole configurations. In particular, it is proved that Reissner-Nordstr\"om black holes in the highly charged regime $Q/M>(Q/M)_{\text{crit}}=\sqrt{21}/5$ can support…
We performed the first simulations of accretion onto the compact objects in the Reissner-Nordstr\"{o}m (RN) spacetime. The results obtained in general relativity are representative of those for spherically symmetric naked singularities and…
From the duality between the interaction region of colliding waves and black holes (BHs) it is known that certain BH solutions can be obtained from colliding gravity coupled electromagnetic (em) waves. In the limit of vanishing gravity…
We consider the stability of the maximally-extended Reissner-Nordstr\"om solution in a Minkowski, de Sitter, or anti-de Sitter background. In a broad class of situations, prior work has shown that spherically symmetric perturbations from a…
We investigate the occurrence and nature of a naked singularity in the gravitational collapse of an inhomogeneous dust cloud described by a non self-similar higher dimensional Tolman spacetime. The necessary condition for the formation of a…
