Abstract

A new class of exact solutions of Einstein’s equations is proposed for a collapsing radiating spherically symmetric shear-free isotropic fluid undergoing radial heat flow. In remote past the solutions are static perfect fluid which then gradually starts evolving into radiating collapse. The interior solutions are matched with Vaidya exterior metric over the boundary.
