Schwarzschild Geometry - http://casa.colorado.edu/~ajsh/schwp.html
The Schwarzschild geometry describes the spacetime geometry of empty space surrounding any spherical mass. |
|
Hawking Radiation - http://casa.colorado.edu/~ajsh/hawk.html
Classically, black holes are black. Quantum mechanically, black holes radiate, with a radiation known as Hawking radiation, after the British physicist Stephen Hawking who first proposed it. |

Introduction to Black Hole Microscopy - http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/9510026
The aim of these notes is both to review the standard understanding of the Hawking effect. The fundamentals of the Unruh effect are reviewed, and then the Hawking effect is explained as a ``gravitational Unruh effect". |
|
Quantum Fields Near Black Holes - http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/9801025
This review gives an introduction into problems, concepts and techniques when quantizing matter fields near black holes. The first part focusses on quantum fields in general curved space-times. The second part is devoted to a detailed treatment of the Unruh effect in uniformly accelerated frames and the Hawking radiation of black holes |

An overview of the effects on light in the presence of a black hole. |
|
Black Holes and Naked Singularities - http://arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/9805066
This article gives an elementary review of gravitational collapse and the cosmic censorship hypothesis. Known models of collapse resulting in the formation of black holes and naked singularities are summarized. |
|

A site explaining the Schwarzschild solution and how it leads to black holes. |
|
Quantum Geometry and Black Holes - http://arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/9804039
Non-perturbative quantum general relativity provides a possible framework to analyze issues related to black hole thermodynamics from a fundamental perspective. |
|
Developments in General Relativity: Black Hole Singularity and Beyond - http://arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/0304052
An outline of the recent achievements in our understanding of the nature of the singularity inside a rotating black hole. This presentation also addresses the questions: "Can we see inside a black hole?" and "Can a falling observer cross the singularity without being crushed?" |

Higher Dimensional Chern-Simons Theories and Topological Black Holes - http://arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/9803002
It has been recently pointed out that black holes of constant curvature with a "chronological singularity" can be constructed in any spacetime dimension. In this paper, a brief summary of these new black holes is given. |
|
Black Holes - http://arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/9808035
We review the observational evidence for black holes, and briefly discuss some of their properties. We also describe some recent developments involving cosmic censorship and the statistical origin of black hole entropy |
