Abstract

We present here a new shear free model for the gravitational collapse of a spherically symmetric charged body. We propose a dissipative contraction with radiation emitted outwards represented by the Vaidya–Reissner–Nordström metric. 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 Reissner–Nordström black hole formation and it can even prevent the collapse.
