Gravitational Collapse of Self-Similar and Shear-free Fluid with Heat Flow

arXiv:gr-qc/0209067 · doi:10.1142/S021827180300327X

Abstract

A class of solutions to Einstein field equations is studied, which represents gravitational collapse of thick spherical shells made of self-similar and shear-free fluid with heat flow. It is shown that such shells satisfy all the energy conditions, and the corresponding collapse always forms naked singularities.
