Abstract

A relativistic model of a heat conducting collapsing star, which includes thermal pre-relaxation processes, is presented. Particular attention is paid to the influence of a given parameter defined in terms of thermodynamic variables, on the outcome of evolution. Evaluation of the system when passing through a critical value of the aforesaid parameter, does not yield evidence of anomalous behaviour.
