Description
We study Einstein gravity coupled to a massless scalar field in a static spherically symmetric space-time in four dimensions. Black hole solutions exist when the kinetic energy of the scalar field is negative, that is, for a phantom field. These ``scalar black holes'' have an infinite horizon area and zero temperature. They are related through a conformal transformation with similar objects in the Jordan frames of scalar-tensor theories of gravity. The thermodynamical properties of these solutions are discussed. It is proved that any \ssph \bhs with an infinite horizon area have zero Hawking temperature.
