On the Maximum Mass of General Relativistic Uniformly Rotating White Dwarfs    [PDF]

Kuantay Boshkayev, Jorge Rueda, Remo Ruffini
The properties of uniformly rotating white dwarfs are analyzed within the framework of general relativity. Hartle's formalism is applied to construct self-consistently the internal and external solutions to the Einstein equations. The mass, the radius, the moment of inertia and quadrupole moment of rotating white dwarfs have been calculated as a function of both the central density and rotation period of the star. The maximum mass of rotating white dwarfs for stable configurations has been obtained.
