Buchdahl compactness limit and gravitational field energy

Abstract: The main aim of this paper is essentially to point out that the Buchdahl compactness limit of a static object is given by it{gravitational field energy being less than or equal to half of its non-gravitational matter energy}. It is thus entirely determined without any reference to interior distribution by the exterior unique solutions, the Schwarzschild for neutral and the Reissner-Nordstr{ddoto}m for charged object. In terms of surface potential, it reads as Phi(R)=(M−Q2/2R)/Rleq4/9 which translates to surface red-shift being less than or equal to 3. It also prescribes an upper bound on charge an object could have, Q2/M2leq9/8>1.
