Abstract

We use the Tolman metric to describe gravitational collapse of a sphere of a fluid without pressure in spacetime with the Hubble parameter HH related to the cosmological constant. We show that the largest radius of a galaxy formed from such a fluid with mass MM is given by (GM/H2)1/3(GM/H^2)^{1/3}.
