Spherically symmetric static SU(2) Einstein–Yang–Mills fields

The discrete family of global solutions of the static spherically symmetric SU(2) Einstein–Yang–Mills equations that were recently numerically obtained by Bartnik and McKinnon Phys. Rev. Lett. 61, 141 (1988) is studied in greater detail, both numerically and analytically. A similar discrete sequence of numerical solutions outside a regular event horizon is shown to exist for every radius of the horizon.
