The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Superradiance (2015, background): “1916 Shortly afterwards, Schwarzschild [23] and Droste [24] derive the first solution of Einstein’s equations, describing the gravitational field generated by a point mass.”
Tests for the existence of black holes through gravitational wave echoes (2017, background): “Even though Schwarzschild and Droste wrote down the first nontrivial regular, asymptotic flat, vacuum solution to the field equations already in 1916 [2, 3], several decades would elapse until such solutions became accepted.”
Testing the nature of dark compact objects: a status report (2019, background): “Even though the first nontrivial regular, asymptotically flat, vacuum solution to the field equations describing BHs were written already in 1916 [2, 3], several decades would elapse until such solutions became accepted and understood.”
