12 4. Multipole Moments Quadrupole moment Newtonian : Vacuum region Kerr g q = = c 0 c 6 4 M M a + M c P (cos θ ) M 5 = r r 00 3 Quadrupole moment: 6 Q = Q = Q = 4M a + M c Q Q 6 M c 4 = Kerr 5 a

13 Relativistic Multipole Moments (i) Mɶ = M Λ where Λ is a single point ( ) (ii) hɶ =Ωɶ h ij ij (iii) Ω ɶ =Ω ɶ = 0, Dɶ Dɶ Ω ɶ = hɶ Λ, i Λ i j Λ ij Λ (Geroch, Hansen, Thorne) Asymptotically flatness: A 3-space (M,h) is said to be asymptotically flat if it can be conformally mapped to a 3-space ( M ɶ, h ɶ ) with the following properties: Ω ɶ r

14 Ex: flat space: Change coordinates: x y z x =, y =, z = x + y + z x + y + z x + y + z ds = dx + dy + dz = ( x + y + z ) ( dx + dy + dz ) Conformal metric: ds =Ω ɶ ds = ( dx + dy + dz ) with ɶ Ω= x + y + z = ( x + y + z ) = Ω ɶ =Ω ɶ = 0, D ɶ D ɶ Ω ɶ = h ɶ Λ, i Λ i j Λ ij Λ r

15 Stationary case: a From timelike Killing vector K define the a f = K K a scalars and ψ b : ψ = ε K K, a abcd c; d (gradient due to field equations). E Gravitational potential: ξ = where Ernst potential E= f + iψ + E ɶ ɶ / / ξ =Ω ξ ( φ, Ω ɶ r) r Metric on 3-space: hab = fgab+ KaKb

16 Multipole tensors: i Pɶ ( x ) = ɶ ξ, Pɶ ( x ) = ɶ ξ (0) i () j Pɶ ( x ) = Dɶ Pɶ n(n ) Rɶ Pɶ n+ n+ n 3 n For axisymmetric spacetimes the multipole moments are given in terms of the scalar moments (Hansen, Beige): = ɶ n!

17 Algorithms for calculating the multipole moments developed by, e.g., Fodor & Perjés and Bäckdahl & Herberthson. Fodor-Perjés method: Transform metric to ds = f ( dt ɶ ωdϕ) f e γ ( dρ + dz ) + ρ dϕ with 3 = Ar + h + h + k h + k ( ) ρ sinθ 0 sin θ z ( r M) h ( h k m ) = cosθ sin θ + + r A h0, r ( h, r + k, r) sin θ a am f = KaK = (+ h) A r ω sin θ, ψ = cosθ r

18 Define: Suitable conformal factor: ρ z ρ =, z = ρ + z ρ + z Ω= ɶ r = ρ + z ɶ ξ = ξ r First moments (up to n=3) given by ξ ( ρ = 0) = n 0 (Fodor, Hoenselaers & Perjés): = ɶ m z n n In this case: ɶ 6 ξ = M c + imaz M a + M c z 5 4 Hence: 6 M = M c, J = Ma, Q= M a + M c 5 4

19 5. Matching procedure Matching surface S Fluid region: n p = 0 To zeroth order: p0( r ) = 0 To second order: p( r) = p ( r) + p ( r) + p ( r) P (cos θ ) = r = r + ξ + ξ P (cos θ ) 0

24 The vacuum metric above is general enough for the matching to rigidly rotating perfect fluids, but is in general not asymptotically flat. (See Mars & Senovilla, Mod. Phys. Lett. A 3, 509 (998) on overdetermined matching conditions) Note that equation of state not used.

27 Scaling invariance: ω0 γω0 ˆ ˆ ˆ ˆ ω, yɶ γω, γ yɶ ; h, k, mˆ γ h, γ k, γ mˆ ; β, ζ, r β, ζ, r Rescaling of r: r αr induces a change of the parameters d d p c d d, d, d3, p0c,, α α α of the equation of state: 3 0 Only the central pressure need be varied when scanning the solution space for given equation of state. One of the constants in equation of state can be fixed

28 Requirement of asymptotic flatness, corresponding to: q = 0 h = h ( ρ ( p ), p, ω ) 0 0c 0c 0 Since both the differential equations for k and h and the expressions for q and c are linear in k and h, the correct value for h can easily be found by considering linear combinations of particular and homogeneous solutions: q = q + Cq p h

Quantum Grav. 5, 0509 (008) it is shown that the properties of the solutions of their equations corresponding to (i) and (ii) are such that. It also follows that c 0 c > 0 h h r= r > 0 Q > 0 Q Hence for oblate Newtonian polytropes.

Post-Minkowskian incompressible and polytropic cases compared with Cabezas et. al. and Martín et. al. Q Also showed that > 0 if oblate shape. Q 3. There are asymptotically flat perturbations of Whittaker (not Wahlquist). 4. Only cases found that gets close to Kerr (when getting infinite in size) are those with linear equation of state ρ = d p+ and for d d < 3. p 0c = ( d )
