Gravitational collapse in spatially isotropic coordinates
Megan Govender, Robert Bogadi, Ranjan Sharma +1
We investigate the dynamical nature of the collapse process of a spherically symmetric star in quasi-static hydrodynamical equilibrium. The star collapses from an initial static co…
The role of shear in dissipative gravitational collapse
M. Govender, K. P. Reddy, S. D. Maharaj
In this paper we investigate the physics of a radiating star undergoing dissipative collapse in the form of a radial heat flux. Our treatment clearly demonstrates how the presence…
Radiating stars with generalised Vaidya atmospheres
S. D. Maharaj, G. Govender, M. Govender
We model the gravitational behaviour of a radiating star when the exterior geometry is the generalised Vaidya spacetime. The interior matter distribution is shear-free and undergoi…
