The influence of an equation-of-state during radiative collapse

摘要

We study the role played by an equation-of-state during gravitational collapse of a radiating star. Starting from an initially static matter configuration obeying a linear equation-of-state, the star loses hydrostatic equilibrium and undergoes dissipative collapse in the form of a radial heat flux. We show that the equation-of-state parameter plays an important role in determining the temperature profiles of the collapsing body.
