Exact General Relativistic Perfect Fluid Disks with Halos

arXiv:gr-qc/0308031 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.68.084010

Abstract

Using the well-known ``displace, cut and reflect'' method used to generate disks from given solutions of Einstein field equations, we construct static disks made of perfect fluid based on vacuum Schwarzschild's solution in isotropic coordinates. The same method is applied to different exactsolutions to the Einstein'sequations that represent static spheres of perfect fluids. We construct several models of disks with axially symmetric perfect fluid halos. All disks have some common features: surface energy density and pressures decrease monotonically and rapidly with radius. As the ``cut'' parameter decreases, the disks become more relativistic, with surface energy density and pressure more concentrated near the center. Also regions of unstable circular orbits are more likely to appear for high relativistic disks. Parameters can be chosen so that the sound velocity in the fluid and the tangential velocity of test particles in circular motion are less then the velocity of light. This tangential velocity first increases with radius and reaches a maximum.
