How extreme are extreme black holes?

arXiv:1105.2574 · doi:10.1088/0264-9381/28/17/175005

Abstract

We examine the properties of nearly extremal black holes produced by gravitational collapse. It is shown that an observer who crosses the black hole horizon at late times rapidly encounters a singularity.
