Volume of a black hole event horizon

POSTER

Abstract

We describe, in detail, methods of calculating the volume of a black hole event horizon in different coordinate systems. While the process is relatively straightforward, we notice that some interesting properties arise when the coordinate systems are time-dependent, as in the case of Novikov and Kruskal coordinates.
