Black holes with short hair
We present spherically symmetric black hole solutions for Einstein gravity
coupled to anisotropic matter. We show that these black holes have arbitrarily
short hair, and argue for stability by showing that they can arise from
dynamical collapse. We also show that a recent `no short hair' theorem does not
apply to these solutions.Comment: 11 pages, latex, reference added, to appear in Int. J. Mod. Phys.
