This is some matterial that could be a helpfull companion to the paper,
"An all-purpose metric for the exterior of any kind of rotating neutron star", by G. Pappas and T. A. Apostolatos.
Multipole Moments for the two-soliton
Metric functions for the two-soliton
The metric functions can be expressed using the following quantities:
From A and B we define the Ernst potential: E(ρ,z)=, and the metric function: f(ρ,z)=.
Using L and E we also define the metric function: ω(ρ,z)=i.
And from we define the metric function: =.
Metric functions for the Manko et al.
The metric functions of Manko et al. (Manko V. S., Mielke E. W., Sanabria-Gòmez J. D., 2000, Phys. Rev. D, 61, 081501) with parameters M, a and, b expressed in Weyl-Papapetrou coordinates.
Hartle-Thorne metric
Hartle - Thorne from Berti et al., 2005, MNRAS, 358, 923
(with a change in sign of term so as to correspond to a rotation parameter defined as j=).
