Definition of a trapped surface

For a sphere in flat space

Outgoing light rays are diverging: Θ(ℓ) = ˜ qab∇aℓb > 0 Ingoing light rays are converging: Θ(n) = ˜ qab∇anb < 0

For a trapped surface, both sets of null rays are converging: Θ(ℓ) < 0 and Θ(n) < 0 Trapped surfaces are signatures of black holes:

Existence of trapped surface = ⇒ singularity in future Trapped surfaces lie inside the event horizon For cross sections of stationary EHs Θ(ℓ) = 0, Θ(n) < 0

Future Marginally Outer Trapped Surface (FMOTS):

Θ(ℓ) = 0, Θ(n) < 0

We can look for marginally trapped surfaces on non-symmetric surfaces using apparent horizon finders In Vaidya we can push marginally trapped surfaces arbitrarily close to the EH Marginal surfaces can also extend into flat region Recent analytic proof by Ben-Dov

Evolution of MTSs in Time

It is observed numerically that MTSs evolve smoothly in time Apparent horizons may jump due to outermost condition Smooth world tube of MTSs is a Marginally Trapped Tube MTT shown to exist if MTS is strictly stably outermost

Andersson et al, PRL 95 111102 (2005)

Untrapped Trapped

Linear outward deformation makes S untrapped: δfrΘ(ℓ) > 0 for f ≥ 0 In practice we look for surfaces with Θ(ℓ) = ǫ > 0 and check that it lies outside S

Definitions

Dynamical Horizon: Spacelike MTT with Θ(n) < 0 Outermost MTT usually forms a DH MTT with |σ(ℓ)|2 = 0 or Tabℓaℓb = 0 somewhere are spacelike if they are SSO (Andersson et al.) Timelike Membrane: Timelike MTT Cannot be the black hole surface Inner MTTs might form timelike membranes Isolated Horizon: Null MTT (BH in equilibrium) Other cases: MTTs with mixed signature also possible

Basic Properties

Cross section is topologically S2 Area increases along ˆ r a for a DH

Consequence of Θ(ℓ) = 0 and Θ(n) < 0 Area increases in time if t.r > 0 Area decreases for a TLM

Foliation of DH is unique (Ashtekar & Galloway, gr-qc/0503109)

Implies that changing Σ leads to different DH Other restrictions on occurence of MTS in presence of DH

Event horizon is probably the boundary of the trapped region (Eardley 1998, Schnetter & Krishnan 2006, Ben-Dov 2006)

Multipole Moments

We are interested in source multipole moments for black hole In classical electrodynamics we have charge and current multipole moments for sources For a black hole we have mass and angular momentum multipole moments Mn and Jn J0 vanishes by absence of monopole charges (here NUT charge) M0 is mass and J1 is angular momentum In Kerr, M0 and J1 determine all higher moments In Schwarzschild, only M0 = 0

Multipole Moments

Properties of the multipole moments Mn and Jn are coordinate independent They characterize geometry of DH at any given time Need only data on MTS to calculate them Coincide with corresponding isolated horizon formulae (Ashtekar et. al, CQG 21 2549 (2004)) Useful for characterizing rate of approach to Kerr

Summary

We have looked at various types of trapped surfaces, multipole moments, etc. in some example simulations Shows how a black hole grows and settles down to a Kerr horizon Can be applied in current stable evolutions

Are non-spinning punctures really non-spinning? Observe spin-orbit coupling? How far is initial data from Kerr? . . .
