Abstract
A method used to study the evolution of radiating spheres, reported some years ago by Herrera, Jiménez, and Ruggeri, is extended to the case in which thermal conduction within the sphere is taken into account. By means of an explicit example it is shown that heat flow, if present, may play an important role, affecting the final outcome of collapse.Keywords
