Pattern for a star filled with imperfect fluid

Abstract

A static, spherically symmetric spacetime with negative pressures is conjectured inside a star. The gravitational field is repulsive and so a central singularity is avoided. The positive energy density and the pressures of the imperfect fluid are finite everywhere. The Tolman-Komar energy of the space is negative, as for a de Sitter geometry. From the Darmois-Israel junction conditions on the star surface one finds the constant length bb from the metric and the expression of the surface tension σ\sigma of the thin shell separating the interior from the Schwarzschild exterior. Some properties of the timelike and null geodesics in the Painleve-Gullstrand coordinates are investigated.
