Painleve'-Gullstrand models for time-dependent black holes

ORAL

Abstract

Black hole metrics that contain a timelike Killing vector have well known causal structure, captured by Penrose diagrams. However, the causal structure of time-dependent black holes has only recently received significant attention. Penrose diagrams have now been constructed for models of black holes in Painleve'-Gullstrand coordinates with time-dependent mass parameter. We discuss the constraints on these models and their relation to the dynamical horizon paradigm.
