AbstractUsing numerical integration, in 1969 Penston (Mon Not R Astr Soc 144:425–448, 1969) and Larson (Mon Not R Astr Soc 145:271–295, 1969) independently discovered a self-similar solution describing the collapse of a self-gravitating asymptotically flat fluid with the isothermal equation of state $$p=k\varrho $$ p = k ϱ , $$k>0$$ k > 0 , and subject to Newtonian gravity. We rigorously prove the existence of such a Larson–Penston solution.

Self-similar solutions of a collapsing perfect fluid and a massless scalar field with kinematic self-similarity of the first kind in 2+1 dimensions are obtained. The local and global properties of the solutions are studied. It is found that some of them represent gravitational collapse, in which black holes are always formed, and some may be interpreted as representing cosmological models.
