The space-time line element for static ellipsoidal objects

In this paper, we solved the Einstein's field equation and obtained a line element for static, ellipsoidal objects characterized by the linear eccentricity ($\eta$) instead of quadrupole parameter ($q$). This line element recovers the Schwarzschild line element when $\eta$ is zero. In addition to that it also reduces to the Schwarzschild line element, if we neglect terms of the order of $r^{-2}$ or higher which are present within the expressions for metric elements for large distances. Furthermore, as the ellipsoidal character of the derived line element is maintained by the linear eccentricity ($\eta$), which is an easily measurable parameter, this line element could be more suitable for various analytical as well as observational studies.
