In general relativity, the Vaidya metric describes the non-empty external spacetime of a spherically symmetric and nonrotating star which is either emitting or absorbing null dusts. It is named after the Indian physicist Prahalad Chunnilal Vaidya and constitutes a simplest non-static generalization of the non-radiative Schwarzschild solution to Einstein's field equation, and therefore is also called the "radiating(/shining) Schwarzschild metric". == From Schwarzschild to Vaidya metrics == The Schwarzschild metric as the static and spherically symmetric solution to Einstein's equation reads To remove the coordinate singularity of this metric at , one could switch to the Eddington–Finkelstein coordinates. Thus, introduce the "retarded(/outgoing)" null coordinate by and Eq(1) could be transformed into the "retarded(/outgoing) Schwarzschild metric" or, we could instead employ the "advanced(/ingoing)" null coordinate by so Eq(1) becomes the "advanced(/ingoing) Schwarzschild metric" Eq(3) and Eq(5), as static and spherically symmetric solutions, are valid for both ordinary celestial objects with finite radii and singular objects such as black holes. It turns out that, it is still physically reasonable if one extends the mass parameter in Eqs(3) and Eq(5) from a constant to functions of the corresponding null coordinate, and respectively, thus The extended metrics Eq(6) and Eq(7) are respectively the "retarded(/outgoing)" and "advanced(/ingoing)" Vaidya metrics.〔Eric Poisson.
