What a difference a quadrupole makes?

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We consider some implications of the departure from spherical symmetry for static solutions of the vacuum Einstein's equations describing black hole mimickers. In particular, we investigate how the presence of mass quadrupole moment affects the collision energy of test particles. We show that collision processes in the vicinity of such exotic compact sources with non vanishing mass quadrupole moment may be significantly different from those in the vicinity of black holes.
