Abstract

We consider a spherical body consisting of a fluid with heat flow which radiates in its exterior a null fluid described by the outgoing Vaidya's metric, we prove that this solution matched with the outgoing Vaidya's metric represents a physically reasonable collapsing model. Our model has the remarkable property: it is shear-free and the motion of the fluid is geodesic.
