Collapsing shear-free perfect fluid spheres with heat flow

Abstract

A global view is given upon the study of collapsing shear-free perfect fluid spheres with heat flow. We apply a compact formalism, which simplifies the isotropy condition and the condition for conformal flatness. This formalism also presents the simplest possible version of the main junction condition, demonstrated explicitly for conformally flat and geodesic solutions. It gives the right functions to disentangle this condition into well known differential equations like those of Abel, Riccati, Bernoulli and the linear one. It yields an alternative derivation of the general solution with functionally dependent metric components. We bring together the results for static and time- dependent models to describe six generating functions of the general solution to the isotropy equation. Their common features and relations between them are elucidated. A general formula for separable solutions is given, incorporating collapse to a black hole or to a naked singularity.Comment: 26 page

A Class of Super Dense Stars Models Using Charged Analogues of Hajj-Boutros Type Relativistic Fluid Solutions

“…Our class of solution comprises a particular well behaved solution previously derived by one of us [44]. In continuation of our previous work [45] we present here a new class of solutions of Einstein-Maxwell field equations with well behaved neutral counterpart in isotropic coordinates by motivation of Das et al [46], Ivanov [47], and Murad and Pant [48]. Such solutions are expected to provide simplified but easy to mathematically analyzed compact stellar models of bare strange quark star, a star with nonzero ultra-high surface density.…”

Anisotropic static spheres with linear equation of state in isotropic coordinates

“…Nearly all spherically symmetric static solutions of the Einstein field equations were obtained using curvature coordi- (2005) presented a matrix method for generating relativistic solutions which describe compact objects in isotropic coordinates. Ivanov (2012), through his study of collapsing shear-free fluid spheres with heat flow was able to show a strong link between the solution-generating method for static, isotropic spheres and collapsing, radiating spheres. Lake (2003) has presented an algorithm which generates all static spherically symmetric perfect solutions by choosing a single monotone function (subject to boundary conditions).…”

Self similar collapse and the Raychaudhuri equation

“…In the present work we study the evolution of a conformally flat geometry, minimally coupled with a scalar field, along with the presence of a fluid. This specific case of spacetime metric is well-studied for radiating and/or shear-free stars [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] and is receiving increasing interest in the context of gravitational collapse quite recently [26][27][28]. We make the additional assumption that the evolution is self-similar in nature.…”
