Abstract

Slowly rotating perfect fluid balls with regular center and asymptotically flat exterior are considered to second order in the rotation parameter. The necessary condition for being Petrov type D is given for general perfect fluid matter. As a special case, fluids with a linear equation of state are considered. Using a power series expansion at the regular center, it is shown that the Petrov D condition is inconsistent with the linear equation of state assumption.
