A causal model of radiating stellar collapse

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We find a simple exact model of radiating stellar collapse, with a shear-free and non-accelerating interior matched to a Vaidya exterior. The heat flux is subject to causal thermodynamics, leading to self-consistent determination of the temperature T. We solve for T exactly when the mean collision time auc is constant, and perturbatively in a more realistic case of variable auc. Causal thermodynamics predicts temperature behaviour that can differ significantly from the predictions of non-causal theory. In particular, the causal theory gives a higher central temperature and greater temperature gradient.
