Abstract:
We investigate the behaviour of a relativistic spherically symmetric radiative
star with an accelerating, expanding and shearing interior matter distribution in
the presence of anisotropic pressures. The junction condition can be written in
standard form in three cases: linear, Bernoulli and Riccati equations. We can
integrate the boundary condition in each case and three classes of new solutions
are generated. For particular choices of the metric we investigate the physical
properties and consider the limiting behaviour for large values of time. The
causal temperature can also be found explicitly.
