A Black Hole Could Spit Itself Out of Its Own Hair, Leaving a Boson Star in Its Wake
Theoretical physicists at the University of Aveiro in Portugal simulated a hairy black hole and found it can decay by fission, splitting into a bald black hole and a boson star. The instability arises when non-spherical perturbations are allowed, contradicting earlier stable models. The work suggests such composite objects are not stable endpoints.
