Interior Solution for a Finite Rotating Body of Perfect Fluid

Abstract: (APS)
An axially symmetric, stationary, type-D solution of Einstein's field equations has been found which represents the superposition of a Kerr-NUT metric and a rigidly rotating perfect fluid in the same space-time region, analogous to the Newtonian superposition of the gravitational fields of a mass point, or ring, and a surrounding body of distributed matter. A fairly large family of old and new metrics are thus included as special cases: Schwarzschild, NUT, and Kerr exterior solutions, and new interior solutions for a stationary body of fluid, either spherical and nonrotating, or rigidly rotating with arbitrary angular velocity.References(7)
