Oppenheimer-Snyder model 2026-10-13
The Oppenheimer-Snyder model describes a homogeneous ball of pressureless matter collapsing from rest, with a closed FLRW metric inside and a Schwarzschild metric outside. In geometric units its interior is , with and . The boundary is a fixed comoving angle. Density conservation gives constant, and the Friedmann equation at the initial turning point gives .
