Abstract: We consider four-dimensional Einstein gravity minimally coupled to a dilaton scalar field with a supergravity-inspired scalar potential. We obtain an exact time-dependent spherically symmetric solution describing gravitational collapse to a static scalar-hairy black hole. The solution can be asymptotically AdS, flat or dS depending on the value of the cosmological constant parameter Lambda in the potential. As the advanced time u increases, the spacetime reaches equilibrium in an exponential fashion, i.e., eu/u0 with u0sim1/(alpha4M0)1/3, where M0 is the mass of the final black hole and alpha is the second parameter in the potential. Similar to the Vaidya solution, at u=0, the spacetime can be matched to an (A)dS or flat vacuum except that at the origin a naked singularity may occur. Moreover, a limiting case of our solution with alpha=0 gives rise to an (A)dS generalization of the Roberts solution, thereby making it relevant to critical phenomena. Our results provide a new model for investigating formation of real life black holes with Lambdageq0. For Lambda<0, it can be instead used to study non-equilibrium thermalization of certain strongly-coupled field theory.
