Abstract

Recently Glavan and Lin [Phys. Rev. Lett. 124, 081301 (2020)] formulated a novel Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity in which the Gauss-Bonnet coupling has been rescaled as α/(D4)\alpha/(D-4) and the 4D4D theory is defined as the limit D4D \rightarrow 4, which preserves the number degrees of freedom thereby free from the Ostrogradsky instability. We present exact spherically symmetric nonstatic null dust solutions in the novel 4D Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity that bypasses the Lovelock theorem. Our solution represents radiating black holes and regains, in the limit α0\alpha \rightarrow 0, the famous Vaidya black hole of general relativity (GR). We discuss the horizon structure of black hole solutions to find that the three horizon-like loci that characterizes its structure, viz. AHAH, EHEH and TLS TLS have the relationship rEH<rAH=rTLSr_{EH} < r_{AH} = r_{TLS}. The charged radiating black holes in the theory, generalizing Bonnor-Vaidya black holes, are also considered. In particular our results, in the limit α0\alpha \rightarrow 0, reduced exactly to \emph{vis-aˋ\grave{a}-vis} 4D black holes of GR.
