Note on trapped surfaces in the Vaidya solution

Abstract: The Vaidya solution describes the gravitational collapse of a finite shell of incoherent radiation falling into flat spacetime and giving rise to a Schwarzschild black hole. There has been a question whether closed trapped surfaces can extend into the flat region (whereas closed outer trapped surfaces certainly can). For the special case of self-similar collapse we show that the answer is yes, if and only if the mass function rises fast enough.

“…The Vaidya solutions have a number of nice properties that make them popular for investigations of this type [19][20][21]. The Vaidya spacetimes [28] are a class of spherically symmetric, non-vacuum spacetimes with line element in advanced null Eddington-Finkelstein coordinates (v, r, θ, φ):…”

“…Using this Ansatz, we solve the problem of transforming the Vaidya metric to the diagonal coordinates fully analytically by calculating all metric coefficients. Vaidya metric (1) with a linear mass function has been considered previously in a large number of publications in various aspects [4,5,[32][33][34][35][36]. However, the form of the Vaidya metric in diagonal coordinates was not obtained in these publications.…”
