Effect of radiation flux on test-particle motion in the Vaidya spacetime

Abstrakt

Motion of massive test particles in the nonvacuum spherically symmetric radiating Vaidya spacetime is investigated, allowing for the physical interaction of the particles with the radiation field in terms of which the source energy-momentum tensor is interpreted.
