Abstract

We study how the changes of coordinates between the class of harmonic coordinates affect the analitycal solutions of Einstein’s equations and we apply it to an analytical approach for stationary and axisymmetric solutions of Einstein equation used by Cabezas et al. (Gen. Relativ. Gravit. 39:707–736, 2007) and Cuchí et al. (Gen. Relativ. Gravit. 45:1433–1456, 2013) to solve the problem of a self-gravitating rigidly rotating perfect fluid compact source.
