Gravitational collapse in spatially isotropic coordinates

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2017-11-20 v1

Abstract

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 configuration by dissipating energy in the form of a radial heat flux. The dissipation ensures that the singularity is never formed and the stellar mass completely evaporates over a finite time.
