Best Answer

Physicist Karl Schwarzchild is credited with the first exact solution to Einstein's field equations from general relativity for a non-rotating black hole. In a loose sense an uncharged non-rotation black hole might thus be referred to as the Schwarzchild type; but more strictly speaking the solution itself bears his name (the Schwarzchild solution) or the calculated radius of the black hole's event horizon (Schwarzchild radius), etc.
