Surface gravity in spherically symmetric collapsing stars

Abstract

Here we consider the generalized Oppenheimer-Snyder collapse of a star into a four-dimensional Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet black hole as well as a class of regular black holes labeled by the polytropic index of the stellar matter. We then analyze the nature of the horizon and the corresponding surface gravity outside and inside the star. The Hayward and Nielsen-Visser dynamical surface gravity are in agreement with the one resulting from the Killing vector of the outer static metric. However, these two definitions inside the star do not coincide with the Killing surface gravity outside the star when the star crosses the event horizon. This motivates us to study the surface gravity using Fodor's approach to have a unique surface gravity at the mentioned moment. Then the extremality condition and the first law of thermodynamics are discussed at the trapping horizon of the star.
