Abstract:
This paper is devoted to presenting the dynamics of thin-shell composed of massive and massless scalar fields developed from (2+1)-dimensional rotating black holes with nonminimally coupled scalar fields. Furthermore, this structure opens up the possibility of investigating links between thin-shell dynamics and black hole physics. It is found that the nonminimally coupled scalar field affects the dynamics of the shell in the background of massive and massless scalar fields. For higher values of the non-minimally coupled scalar field, the effective potential for the choice of massless scalar field decreases as the shell radius increases, which yields the expansion of the shell. For a massive scalar field, the developed structure expresses both expansion and collapsing nature for different choices of physical parameters. Overall, the nonminimal coupling of a scalar field with a 2+1-dimensional revolving black hole affects the dynamical configurations of thin-shell. Results indicate that scalar hair critically influences shell dynamics, leading to distinct behaviors: massless scalar fields promote monotonic expansion, while massive scalar fields induce collapse. The findings highlight that the effective potential's characteristics dictate the shell's dynamic behavior, revealing that an increase in scalar field parameters enhances expansion rates, whereas integration constants exhibit an inverse relationship.

The minimum speed required to launch a projectile from the surface of an object to which it is gravitationally bound so that it eventually escapes the object’s gravitational field is called the escape velocity. The escape velocity is independent of the mass of the object. Merging the idea of escape...

Their closest cousins are neutron stars, which are composed almost entirely of neutrons packed against each other, making them extremely dense. A neutron star has the same mass as the Sun but its diameter is only a few kilometers. Therefore, the escape velocity from their surface is close to the speed of light.
