Quasi-spherical collapse with cosmological constant
نویسنده
چکیده
Gravitational collapse is one of the most important problem in classical general relativity. Usually, the formation of compact stellar objects such as white dwarf and neutron star are preceded by a period of collapse. Hence for astrophysical collapse, it is necessary to describe the appropriate geometry of interior and exterior regions and to determine proper junction conditions which allow the matching of these regions.

Role of Pressure in Quasi-Spherical Gravitational Collapse
We study quasi-spherical Szekeres space-time (which possess no killing vectors) for perfect fluid, matter with tangential stress only and matter with anisotropic pressure respectively. In the first two cases cosmological solutions have been obtained and their asymptotic behaviour have been examined while for anisotropic pressure, gravitational collapse has been studied and the role of the press...
متن کاملNonlinear evolution of spherical perturbation in the Universe with cosmological constant and quintessence
We generalize the spherical collapse model for the formation of bound objects to apply in a Universe with cosmological constant and quintessence. We calculate the critical condition for collapse of an overdense region and give exact values of the characteristic densities and redshifts of its evolution. We apply the results to calculate the mass function of bound objects. Comparison with the dat...
متن کاملNonlinear evolution of spherical perturbation in a non-flat Universe with cosmological constant
We generalize the spherical collapse model for the formation of bound objects to apply in a Universe with arbitrary positive cosmological constant. We calculate the critical condition for collapse of an overdense region and give exact values of the characteristic densities and redshifts of its evolution.
متن کاملThe Spherical Collapse Model in a Universe with Cosmological Constant
The spherical collapse model was first developed by Gunn & Gott 1 for a flat universe with no cosmological constant. It assumes that the process of formation of bound objects in the universe can be at first approximation described by evolution of an uniformly overdense spherical region in otherwise smooth background. Despite its simplicity, the model has been widely used to explain properties o...
متن کاملSpacetimes admitting quasi-conformal curvature tensor
The object of the present paper is to study spacetimes admitting quasi-conformal curvature tensor. At first we prove that a quasi-conformally flat spacetime is Einstein and hence it is of constant curvature and the energy momentum tensor of such a spacetime satisfying Einstein's field equation with cosmological constant is covariant constant. Next, we prove that if the perfect flui...
