Radiating Shear-Free Gravitational Collapse with Charge

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2013-01-10 v3

Abstract

We present a new shear free model for the gravitational collapse of a spherically symmetric charged body. We propose a dissipative contraction with radiation emitted outwards. The Einstein field equations, using the junction conditions and an ansatz, are integrated numerically. A check of the energy conditions is also performed. We obtain that the charge delays the black hole formation and it can even halt the collapse.
