BEHAVIOR OF THE KRAMER RADIATING STAR

We study the behaviour of the model for a radiating star proposed by K ramer. The evolution of the model is governed by a second order nonlin ear differential equation. The general solution of this equation is ex pressed in terms of elementary and special functions. This completes t he solution of the Einstein field equations for the interior of the st ar. The model matches smoothly to the Vaidya exterior solution and the condition p = qB is satisfied at the boundary. We briefly study the t hermodynamics of the model and indicate the difficulty in specifying t he temperature explicitly.
