Description

Following Hartle and Thorne, we discuss slowly rotating stars using an expansion of the field equations in angular velocity while having the TOV equations of a non-rotating star as a background model. We use affine-null coordinates, which yield a particularly convenient multipole decoupling of the Einstein equations, allowing for writing down a master equation. Outside the star, the system admits exact solutions that have to be matched with the numerically determined inner solution.
