1. 1. The astronomical consequences of primordial black holes

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation

   Author : Loke Lönnblad Ohlin; [2019]
   Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : In the radiation or early matter dominated eras of the Universe, there is a theoretical possibility for the formation of black holes (BHs). These primordial black holes (PBHs) have been thought of as a possible candidate for dark matter (DM), and an attractive one at that as it would explain DM using only baryonic physics. READ MORE

3. 2. The Hawking mass for ellipsoidal 2-surfaces in Minkowski and Schwarzschild spacetimes

   University essay from Matematiska institutionen

   Author : Daniel Hansevi; [2008]
   Keywords : Hawking mass; Quasi-local mass; General relativity; Ellipsoidal surface;

   Abstract : In general relativity, the nature of mass is non-local. However, an appropriate def-inition of mass at a quasi-local level could give a more detailed characterization ofthe gravitational field around massive bodies. Several attempts have been made tofind such a definition. One of the candidates is the Hawking mass. READ MORE

4. 3. Analytical Expressions for the Hawking Mass in slowly rotating Kerr and Kerr-Newman Space-times

   University essay from Matematiska institutionen

   Author : Martin Bengtsson; [2007]
   Keywords : Hawking mass; Penrose s inequality; Newman-Penrose formalism; Nester-Witten integral; Kerr space-time; Kerr-Newman space-time;

   Abstract : Penrose's inequality which relates the total mass of a space-time containing a black hole with the area of the event horizon, is a yet unproven condition that is required for the cosmic censorship hypothesis. It is believed that the inequality could be proved by using properties of the Hawking mass. READ MORE
