- Description
- The dynamical equations for dissipative collapse in, both, the streaming out and the diffusion approximation, are presented and coupled to a causal transport equation in the context of Israel--Stewart theory. It is obtained that the resulting evolution (at any time scale) will critically depend on a quantity defined in terms of thermodynamic variables. Prospective applications of this result to some astrophysical scenarios are discussed.
