hello,
in MTW Ex 19.1, it was considered a Weakly gravitating body whereas in Ex 19.3, a Stationary relativistic source.
What relativistic means here ? does it mean the source is very dense and massive ? or does it mean it is rotating at near the speed of light ?
Can I specify the mass as the mass times Gamma ? where Gamma is 1/sqrt (1-vv)
I need to find the non linear term which results from the Mass-energy which in this case no longer is the integral of the density , but rather a relativistic mass.
Is this correct ? MTW mentions that we should consider a keplrian mass ! or did I misunderstood ?
Please clarify
Thanks,
cheers,
