Description:

Title: Free boundary and the gaseous star problem



Abstract: I will talk about a simplified model of radiation gaseous stars inspired by Chandrasekhar’s book on the introduction to stellar structures. In this work, we establish the equilibria of the equations and introduce the degeneracy of density and temperature as an analogy to the physical vacuum in the study of isentropic flows. In addition, we study the local well-posedness of the associated dynamical problem. Some related works will be introduced as well.
