On Relativistic Multipole Moments of Stationary Spacetimes
Abstract
Among the known exact solutions of Einstein vacuum field equations the Manko-Novikov and the Quevedo-Mashhoon metrics might be suitable ones for the description of the exterior gravitational field of some real non-collapsed body. A new proposal to represent such exterior field is the stationary q-metric. In this contribution, we computed by means of the Fodor-Hoenselaers-Perjes formalism the lowest ten relativistic multipole moments of these metrics. Corresponding moments were derived for the static vacuum solutions of Gutsunayev-Manko and Hernandez-Martin. A direct comparison between the multipole moments of these non-isometric spacetimes is given.
