Collapse of a relativistic self-gravitating star with radial heat flux:
Impact of anisotropic stresses    [PDF]

Ranjan Sharma, Shyam Das

We develop a simple model for a self-gravitating spherically symmetric relativistic star which begins to collapse from an initially static configuration by dissipating energy in the form of radial heat flow. We utilize the model to show how local anisotropy effects the collapse rate and thermal behaviour of gravitationally evolving systems.
