A hypothetical black hole may eject itself from its own “hair”

SCIENCE & PHYSICSNEEDS REVIEWUpdated:

According to a report, simulations of a hypothetical “hairy” black hole found that it may split from the surrounding scalar field rather than consume it. The reported result leaves two separate objects: a black hole without the field and a self-gravitating clump of scalar matter known as a boson star.

A hypothetical black hole may eject itself from its own “hair”

A model separates from its surrounding field after a small disturbance

The strange part is that a slight disturbance reportedly pushes the black hole away from the center of its own surrounding field, after which it keeps moving out instead of settling back. The researchers describe this as a toy model, not a realistic model of astrophysical black holes; boson stars themselves remain hypothetical.
