Stationary, asymptotically flat spacetimes in general relativity can be characterized by their multipole moments. The moments have proved to be very useful tools for extracting information about the spacetime from various observables and,…
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^2. We also give a bound on the multipole…

Multipole moments carry a lot of information about the gravitational field. Nonetheless, knowing all the multipole moments of an object does not determine conclusively the nature of the object itself. In particular, the multipole moments of…
