Abstract
We give a class of exact spherically symmetric solutions for the Einstein-scalar field system. The solutions may be interpreted as inhomogeneous dynamical scalar field cosmologies. The spacetimes have a timelike conformal Killing vector field and are asymptotically conformally flat. They also have black- or white-hole-like regions containing trapped surfaces. The properties of the apparent horizons are described in detail.
