On unbounded bodies with finite mass: asymptotic behaviour

Abstract

There is introduced a class of barotropic equations of state (EOS) which become polytropic of index $n = 5$ at low pressure. One then studies asymptotically flat solutions of the static Einstein equations coupled to perfect fluids having such an EOS. It is shown that such solutions, in the same manner as the vacuum ones, are conformally smooth or analytic at infinity, when the EOS is smooth or analytic, respectively.
