We give an exact spherically symmetric solution for the Einstein-scalar field system. The solution may be interpreted as an inhomogeneous dynamical scalar field cosmology. The spacetime has a timelike conformal Killing vector field and is asymptotically conformally flat. It also has black or white hole-like regions containing trapped surfaces. We describe the properties of the apparent horizon and comment on the relevance of the solution to the recently discovered critical behaviour in scalar field collapse.

    gr-qc 2026-01 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    A novel exact solution describes a dynamical black hole dressed with a time-dependent scalar field and immersed in an axisymmetric time-dependent electromagnetic field, where time dependence may cloak curvature singularities.
