On Crossing the Cauchy Horizon of a Reissner-Nordstrom Black-Hole (original) (raw)

NASA/ADS

Abstract

The behaviour, on the Cauchy horizon, of a flux of gravitational and/or electromagnetic radiation crossing the event horizon of a Reissner-Nordstrom black-hole is investigated as a problem in the theory of one-dimensional potential-scattering. It is shown that the flux of radiation received by an observer crossing the Cauchy horizon, along a radial time-like geodesic, diverges for all physically reasonable perturbations crossing the event horizon, even including those with compact support.
