  2. Horizon chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horizon_chart

    A horizon chart or horizon graph is a 2-dimensional data visualization displaying a quantitative data over a continuous interval, most commonly a time period. The horizon chart is valuable for enabling readers to identify trends and extreme values within large datasets .

  3. Rindler coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rindler_coordinates

    As we can see from the figure illustrating the Rindler wedge, the locus x = 0 in the Rindler chart corresponds to the locus T 2 = X 2, X > 0 in the Cartesian chart, which consists of two null half-planes, each ruled by a null geodesic congruence. For the moment, we simply consider the Rindler horizon as the boundary of the Rindler coordinates.

  4. Radar horizon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radar_horizon

    With this calculation, the horizon for a radar at a 1-mile (1.6 km) altitude is 89-mile (143 km). The radar horizon with an antenna height of 75 feet (23 m) over the ocean is 10-mile (16 km). However, since the pressure and water vapor content of the atmosphere varies with height, the path used by the radar beam is refracted by the change in ...

  5. Event horizon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Event_horizon

    In astrophysics, an event horizon is a boundary beyond which events cannot affect an outside observer. Wolfgang Rindler coined the term in the 1950s. [1]In 1784, John Michell proposed that gravity can be strong enough in the vicinity of massive compact objects that even light cannot escape. [2]

    English: This image is an example of a horizon chart, illustrating a series of 13 datasets spanning from 2010 to 2020. Italiano: Questa immagine è un esempio di grafico a orizzonte, che illustra una serie di 13 serie di dati che vanno dal 2010 al 2020.

  7. Schwarzschild coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwarzschild_coordinates

    The extension of the exterior region of the Schwarzschild vacuum solution inside the event horizon of a spherically symmetric black hole is not static inside the horizon, and the family of (spacelike) nested spheres cannot be extended inside the horizon, so the Schwarzschild chart for this solution necessarily breaks down at the horizon.

  8. Schwarzschild radius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwarzschild_radius

    (Supermassive black holes up to 21 billion (2.1 × 10 10) M ☉ have been detected, such as NGC 4889.) [16] Unlike stellar mass black holes, supermassive black holes have comparatively low average densities. (Note that a (non-rotating) black hole is a spherical region in space that surrounds the singularity at its center; it is not the ...

  9. Reissner–Nordström metric - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reissner–Nordström_metric

    These concentric event horizons become degenerate for 2r Q = r s, which corresponds to an extremal black hole. Black holes with 2 r Q > r s cannot exist in nature because if the charge is greater than the mass there can be no physical event horizon (the term under the square root becomes negative). [ 9 ]
