Source with Nonzero Radial Pressure for the Vaidya Metric

Abstract

A null fluid with radial pressure is proposed as the source generating Vaidya spacetime. The fluid is anisotropic with no transversal pressures and p=ρ/3p = \rho/3 as its equation of state, where pp is the isotropic pressure and ρ\rho is the energy density. The radial energy flux is inward directed when m˙>0\dot{m} > 0 and the total energy flow crossing a surface of constant rr resembles the Brown-York quasilocal energy. A modified Vaidya metric removes the singularity at the origin and the corresponding QLE is investigated in terms of both rr and the mass m(v)m(v) of the object.
