Effective apsidal precession from a monopole solution in a Zipoy spacetime

Abstract In this work, we examine the orbit equations originated from Zipoy’s oblate metric. Accordingly, the solution of Einstein’s vacuum equations can be written as a linear combination of Legendre polynomials of positive definite integers l. Starting from the zeroth order $$l=0$$ l=0 , in a near...

description Abstract In this work, we examine the orbit equations originated from Zipoy’s oblate metric. Accordingly, the solution of Einstein’s vacuum equations can be written as a linear combination of Legendre polynomials of positive definite integers l. Starting from the zeroth order $$l=0$$ l=0 , in a nearly newtonian regime, we obtain a non-trivial formula favoring both retrograde and advanced solutions for the apsidal precession, depending on parameters related to the metric coefficients. Using a Chi-squared statistics, we apply the model to the apsidal precessions of Mercury and asteroids (1566 Icarus and 2-Pallas). As a result, we show that the obtained values favor the oblate solution as a more adapted approach as compared to those results produced by Weyl’s cylindric and Schwarzschild solutions. Moreover, it is also shown that the resulting solution converges to the integrable case $$\gamma =1$$ γ=1 in the sense of the Zipoy–Voorhees metric.
