On Continued Gravitational Contraction

Volume: 56, Issue: 5, Pages: 455 - 459
Published: Sep 1, 1939
Abstract
When all thermonuclear sources of energy are exhausted a sufficiently heavy star will collapse. Unless fission due to rotation, the radiation of mass, or the blowing off of mass by radiation, reduce the star's mass to the order of that of the sun, this contraction will continue indefinitely. In the present paper we study the solutions of the gravitational field equations which describe this process. In I, general and qualitative arguments are...
