NONSINGULAR COSMOLOGICAL MODELS WITH A VARIABLE COSMOLOGICAL TERM Λ
2008
Exact solutions of the Einstein’s field equations describing a spherically symmetric cosmological model without a big bang or any other kind of singularity recently obtained by Dadhich and Patel (2000) are revisited. The matter content of the model is a shear-free perfect fluid with isotropic pressure and a radial heat flux. Three different exact solutions are obtained both for perfect fluid and fluid with bulk viscosity. It turns out that the cosmological term Λ(t) is a decreasing function of time, which is consistent with recent observations of type Ia supernovae.
