Abstract
The well-known solution of Vaidya for a radiating sphere in a Kaluza-K lein-type of space-time is extended. The field equations yield a two-p arameter solution-either an exactly four-dimensional Vaidya metric wit h a flat extra space tucked to it or a flat Minkowski space-time. The geodesic trajectories of test particles in this field are studied and some astrophysical consequences due to the presence of the extra space are also briefly discussed.
