Uniform-sphere collapse with a cosmological constant
ID: uniform-sphere-collapse-with-a-cosmological-constant
For fixed mass , a uniform sphere of physical radius has and , using the convention in which its outward acceleration is . The virial theorem reads . Defining and , conservation of energy gives . The collapsing branch has . For small positive cosmological constant, it is more compact at fixed turnaround data, even though the outward force inhibits turnaround and collapse.
