Vaidya Metric
Encyclopedia
The Vaidya metric describes exterior gravitational field
due to a radiating star. The metric was proposed by P. C. Vaidya
in 1943. It is a non-static generalization of the Schwarzschild metric
.
where M(u) is the mass parameter.

Schwarzschild metric
In Einstein's theory of general relativity, the Schwarzschild solution describes the gravitational field outside a spherical, uncharged, non-rotating mass such as a star, planet, or black hole. It is also a good approximation to the gravitational field of a slowly rotating body like the Earth or...
