A Schwarzschild black hole or static black hole is a black hole that has neither electric charge nor angular momentum (non-rotating). A Schwarzschild black hole is described by the Schwarzschild metric, and cannot be distinguished from any other Schwarzschild black hole except by its mass.
THE SCHWARZSCHILD SOLUTION AND BLACK HOLES. We now move from the domain of the weak-field limit to solutions of the full nonlinear Einstein's equations. With the possible exception of Minkowski space, by far the most important such solution is that discovered by Schwarzschild, which describes spherically symmetric vacuum spacetimes.
The Schwarzschild radius or the gravitational radius is a physical parameter in the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein's field equations that corresponds to the radius defining the event horizon of a Schwarzschild black hole. It is a characteristic radius associated with any quantity of mass.
Journey into the Schwarzschild black hole. This one shows a map, a clock, and an artificial grid on the black hole's horizon. The simplest kind of black hole is a Schwarzschild black hole, which is a black hole with mass, but with no electric charge, and no spin.
A black hole with zero charge Q = 0 and no angular momentum J = 0. The exterior solution for such a black hole is known as the Schwarzschild solution (or Schwarzschild metric), and is an exact unique solution to the Einstein field equations of general relativity for the general static isotropic metric (i.e., the most general metric tensor that ...
The region II is what we think of the black hole: no future-directed trajectory in this region can ever escape it (geodesic or not!). The surface r= 2M(which is a null surface) is therefore called the horizon.
This chapter discusses the Schwarzschild black hole. It demonstrates how, by a judicious change of coordinates, it is possible to eliminate the singularity of the Schwarzschild metric and reveal a spacetime that is much larger, like that of a black hole.
A Schwarzschild Black Hole is defined as a region in space where the gravitational field is so strong that light cannot escape, resulting in a singularity at the Schwarzschild radius.

X-ray-detecting telescopes such as NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory can image the material spiraling into a black hole, revealing the black hole’s location. NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope can measure the speed of the gas and stars orbiting a point in space that may be a black hole. Scientists use these measurements of speed to determine ...
In these lectures an introduction to black holes in general relativity is presented. First the Schwarzschild black hole and its properties are discussed by studying the geodesics of light and matter.
