Default Rindler black hole

I have read that exists something called Rindler black hole, I suppose
that it comes from the same Rindler that published the famous book
about Relativity. It's a Rindler black hole a solution of Einstein's
equations?


[[Mod. note -- Yes, it's the same Rindler.

A "Rindler black hole" is another name for a part of "Rindler Spacetime"
(= flat (Minkowski) spacetime in special "Rindler coordinates") which
has properties very similar to a black hole, including a "horizon".
So yes, it's a solution of the Einstein equations.

For more information about Rindler spacetime and it's properties...
You might post followup questions to sci.physics.research -- lots of
general relativity people read/post there. Alternatively, see any
good general relativity textbook. I'm at home and my books are at
work, but my personal favorite introductory books (in order from
least to more advanced) are

I. R. Kenyon
"General Relativity"
(Oxford, 1990, paperback ISBN 0-19-851996-6)

Bernard F. Schutz,
"A First Course in General Relativity"
(Cambridge, 1985, paperback ISBN 0-521-27703-5)

Ray D'Inverno
"Introducing Einstein's Relativity"
(Oxford, 1992, paperback ISBN 0-19-859686-3)
