Comparing (7.1.25) with (7.1.15), we can obtain
b=
2 mG
c^2
.
Thus, we get the solution of (7.1.17) as
g 00 =−
(
1 −
2 mG

)
,
g 11 =
(
1 −

and the metric reads
(7.1.26) ds^2 =−
(
1 −

c^2 dt^2 +
(

We have in particular

which is called the Schwarzschild solution or metric.
TOV metric
The Schwarzschild metric (7.1.26) describes the exterior gravitational fields of a centrally
symmetric ball. For the interior gravitational fields, the metric is given by the TOV solution.
Letmbe the mass of a centrally symmetric ball, andRbe the radius of this ball. In the
interior of the ball, the variablersatisfies 0≤r<R.Let the ball be a static liquid sphere
consisting of idealized fluid, an approximation of stars. The energy-momentum tensor of an
idealized fluid is in the form
Tμ ν= (ρ+p)uμuν+pgμ ν,
wherepis the pressure,ρis the density, anduμis the 4-velocity. For a static fluid,uμis
given by
uμ=

√
−g 00
( 1 , 0 , 0 , 0 ).
Hence, the (1,1)-type of the energy-momentum tensor is in the form
Tμν=

The Einstein gravitational field equations of an interior ball read
