General Relativity Physics Honours 2007 A/Prof. Geraint F. Lewis Rm 557, A29 Lecture Notes 7

ecture Lecture Notes 7 Black Holes We have seen previously that something weird happens when we fall towards the origin of the Schwarzschild metric; while the proper motion for the fall is finite, the coordinate time tends to r=2M as t !1. Chapter 12 Clearly, there is something weird about r=2M (the Schwarzschild radius) for massive particles. But what about light rays? Remembering that light paths are null so we can calculate structure of radial light paths.

ecture Lecture Notes 7 Black Holes Clearly the light cones are distorted, and within r=2M all massive particles are destined to hit the origin (the central singularity). In fact, once within this radius, a massive particle will not escape and is trapped (and doomed)! But how do we cross from inside to outside? We can calculate the gradients of light rays from the metric Again, light curves tell us about the future of massive particles.

ecture Lecture Notes 7 Eddington-Finkelstein While Eddington figured out the solution in the early 1900s, but it was Finkelstein in the late 1950s who rediscovered the answer. Basically, we will just make a change of coordinates; And the Schwarzschild metric can be written as The geometry is the same, but the metric now contains off- axis components. But notice now that the metric does nothing weird at r=2M (but still blows up at r=0).

ecture Lecture Notes 7 Eddington-Finkelstein Light rays are still null, so we can find the light cones Clearly, v=const represents a null geodesic (and these are ingoing rays). There is another that can be integrated; So, the change in coordinates removes the coordinate singularity and now light (and massive particles) happily fall in.

ecture Lecture Notes 7 Eddington-Finkelstein To create this figure, we define a new time coordinate of the form; This straightens in- going light rays (making it look like flat space time). However, outgoing light rays are still distorted.

ecture Lecture Notes 7 White Holes Another coordinate transformation can straighten outgoing light rays. The result is a white hole and massive particle at r<2M are destined to be ejected and cannot return. Note that while this is still the Schwarzschild solution, this behaviour is not seen in the original solution.

ecture Lecture Notes 7 Collapse to a Black Hole Consider the collapse of a pressureless (dust) star. The surface of the will collapse along time-like geodesics. We know that the proper time taken for a point to collapse to r=0 is Surfaces B12.2 While the Schwarzschild metric blows up at the horizon, the E-F coordinates remain finite and you can cross the horizon. Once across the horizon, the time to the origin is Which is s for the Sun.

ecture Lecture Notes 7 Collapse to a Black Hole Remember that in E-F coordinates, outgoing light rays move along geodesics where Let’s consider an emitter at (v E,r E ) and receiver at (v R,r R ). If the receiver is at large distances, then the log term can be neglected. When the emitter is close to r=2M the log term dominates. For the distant observer then Where t is the Schwarzschild time coordinate (which will equal the proper time of the observer as the spacetime far from the hole is flat).

ecture Lecture Notes 7 Collapse to a Black Hole Keeping the dominant terms, the result is As r E ! 2M, t R !1. Photons fired off at regular intervals of proper time are received later and later by the observer. These photons are also redshifted. If the photons are emitted at regular intervals of  (proper time) then

ecture Lecture Notes 7 Collapse to a Black Hole Remembering that the frequency of the emitted and received photons are inversely related to the ratio of the emitted and received time between photons, then So the distant observer sees the surface of the star collapsing, but as it approaches r=2M it appears to slow and the received photons become more and more redshifted. The distant observer never sees the surface cross the Schwarzschild radius (or horizon) although we see from the E-F coordinates, the mass happily falls through.

ecture Lecture Notes 7 Kruskal-Szekeres We can take the game of changing coordinates even further with Kruskal-Szekeres coordinates. Starting again with the Schwarzschild metric, and keeping the angular coordinates unchanged, the new coordinates are given by Where c & s are cosh & sinh with the first combination used for r>2M and the second for r<2M. We also find that

ecture Lecture Notes 7 Kruskal-Szekeres The resultant metric is of the form

ecture Lecture Notes 7 Kruskal-Szekeres Lines of constant t are straight, while those at constant r are curves. Light cones are at 45 o, as in flat spacetime. We have our universe, plus a future singularity (black hole) and past singularity (white hole). There also appears to be another universe over to the left.

ecture Lecture Notes 7 Kruskal-Szekeres We can examine the radial infall of matter in these coordinates. The distant observer moves along a line of constant radius, while the matter falls in emitting photons. Again, the distant observer sees the photons arriving at larger intervals and never sees the matter cross the horizon. Note that once inside the horizon, the matter must hit the central singularity.

ecture Lecture Notes 7 Penrose Penrose mapped the Kruskal coordinates further, such that now we get two entire universes on a single page. This is an example of maximal compactification.
