The star collapses from an initial static conﬁguration by dissipating energy in the form of a radial heat ﬂux. The perturbation in the density and pressure pro-ﬁles are such that the star is always close to hydrostatic equi-librium. The temperature proﬁles are studied using a causal heat transport equation.7 penGravitational collapseExact solutionsEinstein’s ﬁeld equationsRadiating star modelExtended irreversible thermodynamicsGravitational collapse in spatially isotropic coordinatesArticlehttps://doi.org/10.1007/s10509-015-2616-9
