Abstract
Following Krah's method, we construct new examples of phantom categories as semiorthogonal components of the derived categories of two types of rational surfaces: the blowup of the plane at 11 points in general position, and the blowup of the second Hirzebruch surface at 9 points in general position. We also pose conjectures about the existence of phantom subcategories in the derived categories of other rational surfaces, obtained as the blowups of the other Hirzebruch surfaces.
