Consider the metric describing the interior of a star,
ds2=−e2α(r)dt2+e2β(r)dr2+r2(dθ2+sin2θdϕ2)
defined for 0⩽r⩽r0 by
eα(r)=23e−β0−21e−β(r),
with
e−2β(r)=1−Ar2
Here A=2M/r03, where M is the mass of the star, β0=β(r0), and we have taken units in which we have set G=c=1.
(i) The star is made of a perfect fluid with energy-momentum tensor
Tab=(p+ρ)uaub+pgab
Here ua is the 4-velocity of the fluid which is at rest, the density ρ is constant throughout the star (0⩽r⩽r0) and the pressure p=p(r) depends only on the radial coordinate. Write down the Einstein field equations and show that they may be written as
Rab=8π(p+ρ)uaub+4π(ρ−p)gab
(ii) Using the formulae given below, or otherwise, show that for 0⩽r⩽r0, one has
4π(ρ+p)=r(α′+β′)e−2β(r)4π(ρ−p)=(rβ′−α′−r21)e−2β(r)+r21
where primes denote differentiation with respect to r. Hence show that
ρ=8π3A,p(r)=8π3A(3e−β0−e−β(r)e−β(r)−e−β0)
[The non-zero components of the Ricci tensor are
R00=e2α−2β(α′′−α′β′+α′2+r2α′)R11=−α′′+α′β′−α′2+r2β′R22=1+e−2β[(β′−α′)r−1]R33=sin2θR22
Note that
α′=21Areβ−α,β′=Are2β.]
