Calculation of, and bounds for, the multipole moments of stationary spacetimes

چکیده
In this paper the multipole moments of stationary asymptotically flat spacetimes are considered. We show how the tensorial recursion of Geroch and Hansen can be replaced by a scalar recursion on R. We also give a bound on the multipole moments. This gives a proof of the ”necessary part” of a long standing conjecture due to Geroch.

Corrected Multipole Moments of Axisymmetric Electrovacuum Spacetimes
Following the procedure of Hoenselaers and Perjés we present a new corrected and dimensionally consistent set of multipole gravitational and electromagnetic moments for stationary axisymmetric spacetimes. Then, we use them to compute the multipole moments, both gravitational and electromagnetic, of a KerrNewman black hole.
متن کاملExplicit multipole moments of stationary axisymmetric spacetimes
In this article we study multipole moments of axisymmetric stationary asymptotically flat spacetimes. We show how the tensorial recursion of Geroch and Hansen can be reduced to a recursion of scalar functions. We also demonstrate how a careful choice of conformal factor collects all moments into one complex valued function on R, where the moments appear as the derivatives at 0. As an applicatio...
متن کاملRelating the Newman–Penrose constants to the Geroch–Hansen multipole moments
In this paper, we express the Newman–Penrose constants in terms of the Geroch–Hansen multipole moments for stationary spacetimes. These expressions are translation-invariant combinations of the multipole moments up to quadrupole order, which do not normally vanish.
متن کاملMultipole moments of axisymmetric spacetimes
In this thesis we study multipole moments of axisymmetric spacetimes. Using the recursive definition of the multipole moments of Geroch and Hansen we develop a method for computing all multipole moments of a stationary axisymmetric spacetime without the use of a recursion. This is a generalisation of a method developed by Herberthson for the static case. Using Herberthson’s method we also devel...
متن کاملMeasuring Multipole Moments of Weyl Metrics by Means of Gyroscopes
Using the technique of Rindler and Perlick we calculate the total precession per revolution of a gyroscope circumventing the source of Weyl metrics. We establish thereby a link between the multipole moments of the source and an “observable” quantity. Special attention deserves the case of the γ-metric. As an extension of this result we also present the corresponding expressions for some station...
