Abstract Our study illuminates the effects of gravitational collapse by considering heat flux anisotropic matter sources within the framework of the f ( R ) theory of gravity. We assume the non-static spherically symmetric configuration to narrate the nature of the interior spacetime and match it with the Vaidya exterior geometry. Further, we employ the well-known Karmarkar condition, as it reduces the solution-generating method of field equations to a single metric potential. To ensure the viability of our collapsing system, a comprehensive graphical analysis is presented in the context of the Logarithmic-corrected R 2 gravity model. Our investigation argues that there are no traces of trapped surfaces in the collapsing procedure. Thus, naked singularity and black hole are not the final fate of the gravitational collapse.
