Title

Lie symmetries for a radiating star in conformally flat spacetime
Co-authors K S Govinder, S D Maharaj

Abstract

We study the junction condition for a shear-free radiating spherically sym- metric relativistic star when the Weyl tensor vanishes and there are no tidal effects. We transform the governing nonlinear partial differential equation to ordinary differential equations using the method of Lie analysis. Particular solutions to the transformed equation are presented and the physical features are briefly studied.
