Gravitational collapse without a remnant
We investigate the gravitational collapse of a spherically symmetric,
inhomogeneous star, which is described by a perfect fluid with heat flow and
satisfies the equation of state or p=C\rho^\ga at its center.
Different from the ordinary process of gravitational collapsing, the energy of
the whole star is emitted into space. And the remaining spacetime is a
Minkowski one at the end of the process.Comment: 9 pages, 9 figures, to appear in Int. J. Theor. Phy
