schwarzschild metric
1Schwarzschild metric — In Einstein s theory of general relativity, the Schwarzschild solution (or the Schwarzschild vacuum) describes the gravitational field outside a spherical, non rotating mass such as a (non rotating) star, planet, or black hole. It is also a good… …
2de Sitter–Schwarzschild metric — In general relativity, the de Sitter–Schwarzschild solution describes a black hole in a causal patch of de Sitter space. Unlike a flat space black hole, there is a largest possible de Sitter black hole, which is the Nariai spacetime. The Nariai… …
3Schwarzschild — is a German surname meaning black sign or black shield and may refer to: * Karl Schwarzschild, (1873 1916), physicist and astronomer * Martin Schwarzschild, (1912 1997), astronomer * Roger Schwarzschild, linguistNamed after Karl Schwarzschild: *… …
4Metric tensor (general relativity) — This article is about metrics in general relativity. For a discussion of metrics in general, see metric tensor. Metric tensor of spacetime in general relativity written as a matrix. In general relativity, the metric tensor (or simply, the metric) …
5Schwarzschild radius — The Schwarzschild radius (sometimes historically referred to as the gravitational radius) is a characteristic radius associated with every mass. It is the radius for a given mass where, if that mass could be compressed to fit within that radius,… …
6Metric tensor — In the mathematical field of differential geometry, a metric tensor is a type of function defined on a manifold (such as a surface in space) which takes as input a pair of tangent vectors v and w and produces a real number (scalar) g(v,w) in a… …
7Schwarzschild black hole — noun An uncharged (q = 0), nonrotating (L = 0) black hole. See Also: Schwarzschild circumference, Schwarzschild metric, Schwarzschild radius …
8Schwarzschild coordinates — In the theory of Lorentzian manifolds, spherically symmetric spacetimes admit a family of nested round spheres . In such a spacetime, a particularly important kind of coordinate chart is the Schwarzschild chart, a kind of polar spherical… …
9Kerr metric — In general relativity, the Kerr metric (or Kerr vacuum) describes the geometry of spacetime around a rotating massive body. According to this metric, such rotating bodies should exhibit frame dragging, an unusual prediction of general relativity; …
10Deriving the Schwarzschild solution — The Schwarzschild solution is one of the simplest and most useful solutions of the Einstein field equations (see general relativity). It describes spacetime in the vicinity of a non rotating massive spherically symmetric object. It is worthwhile… …
