On the multipole moments of a rigidly rotating fluid body

On the multipole moments of a rigidly rotating fluid body

Based on numerical simulations and analytical calculations we formulate a new conjecture concerning the multipole moments of a rigidly rotating fluid body in equilibrium. The conjecture implies that the exterior region of such a fluid is not described by the Kerr metric. Based on numerical simulatio...
