- Review article by Gary T. Horowitz (UCSB) and Saul A. Teukolsky (Cornell); includes information on the observational evidence for black holes, some developments involving cosmic censorship, and the statistical origin of black hole entropy.
Black Holes
- http://www.damtp.cam.ac.uk/user/gr/public/bh_home.html
- Pages by the relativity group at Cambridge University, aimed at a general audience. They include a brief introduction to black holes, information about observational evidence, and a section on black holes and critical phenomena.
Black Holes
- http://arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/9707012
- Lecture notes for Paul K. Townsend's course on Black holes at Cambridge University. Covers the basics of black hole physics, the mechanics of black holes, and related geometrical concepts at a level suitable for advanced physics students.
Black Holes
- http://arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/0201053
- Review article by Piotr Chrusciel (Université de Tours), covering the evidence for the existence of black holes, their mathematical definition, global aspects, and the most important black hole theorems. Special care is taken in exploring aspects relating to numerical simulations of black hole systems.
Black Holes & Co.
- http://www.einstein-online.info/en/spotlights/blackHoles/
- Collection of articles about various aspects of black hole physics, from astronomical observations to the question of why black holes have no hair. Part of the "Spotlights on Relativity" series on Einstein Online; written for a general audience.
Black Holes and Beyond
- http://archive.ncsa.uiuc.edu/Cyberia/NumRel/BlackHoles.html
- Part of the "Spacetime Wrinkles" exhibit published by the National Center for Supercomputing Applications: descriptions of what black holes are, how they might be detected, and what kinds of gravitational waves they should produce. Aimed at a general audience.
Black Holes and Naked Singularities
- http://arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/9805066
- Review article by T. P. Singh (Tata Institute) about gravitational collapse and the cosmic censorship hypothesis; includes a summary description of known models of collapse resulting in the formation of black holes and naked singularities.
Black Holes and String Theory
- http://arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/0107034
- Review by Rob Myers (Perimeter Institute); includes information about calculations of the black hole entropy using branes. Based on lectures given at the 4th Mexican School on Gravitation and Mathematical Physics.
Black Holes: A General Introduction
- http://arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/9801252
- Review article by Jean-Pierre Luminet (Observatoire Paris-Meudon), which presents in a pictorial way the basic concepts of black hole physics; includes information about astronomical objects that are black hole candidates.
Jillian's Guide to Black Holes
- http://www.gothosenterprises.com/black_holes/
- An informal introduction to the different types of black holes, to what happens outside and inside such objects, and to how they can be detected; suitable for a general audience. Created by Jillian Bornak as the final project for a beginners' course on general relativity at Syracuse University in 2003.
