We define and calculate the mass multipole moments of a material body of mass $M$ and electric charge $Q$ tidally deformed by a particle of mass $m \ll M$ and charge $q \ll Q$ placed at a distance $r_0$ from the body. Given $Q/M$ and $r_0$, we choose $q/m$ so that the gravitational attraction between body and particle is balanced by the electrostatic repulsion; the system can then be maintained in a static state. The multipole moments are defined in a setting in which the body's self-gravity is allowed to be strong, but the mutual gravity between body and companion is required to be weak. In this setting, the body is described in full general relativity, in terms of a perturbed metric and electromagnetic potential characterized by tidal constants, and the mutual gravity is described within the post-Newtonian approximation to general relativity, in terms of objects with a multipole structure. Matching the different descriptions of the same field delivers a relation between the tidal constants and the multipole moments. In our implementation of this program, the calculation is performed in full Einstein-Maxwell theory (as a linearized perturbation of the unperturbed field), without appeal to a post-Newtonian approximation. After the fact we take $M/r_0$ to be small and carry out an expansion of the metric in powers of $M/r$ to obtain the multipole moments and associated Love numbers. The calculations are performed for a body made up of a perfect fluid with a uniform ratio of charge to mass densities, governed by a polytropic equation of state. We show that the Love numbers of a charged body in a situation of balanced gravitational and electrostatic forces are negative. The statement remains true even when $Q/M$ is very small, and we conclude that the tidal deformability of a charged body is radically different from that of an uncharged object, for which the Love numbers are positive.
The tidal Love numbers of a black hole vanish, and this is often taken to imply that the hole's tidally induced multipole moments vanish also. An obstacle to establishing a link between these statements is that the multipole moments of individual bodies are not defined in general relativity, when the bodies are subjected to a mutual gravitational interaction. In a previous publication [Phys. Rev. D 103, 064023 (2021)] I promoted the view that individual multipole moments can be defined when the mutual interaction is sufficiently weak to be described by a post-Newtonian expansion. In this view,…
We examine the tidal deformation of a nonrotating compact body (material body or black hole) in general relativity. The body's exterior metric is calculated in a simultaneous expansion in powers of the ratio between the distance to the body and three distinct length scales: the radius of curvature of the external spacetime in which the body is inserted, the scale of spatial inhomogeneity of the curvature, and the scale of temporal variation. The metric is valid in the body's immediate neighborhood, which excludes the external matter responsible for the tidal environment. The body's tidal respo…
In this paper, we investigate the photon sphere, shadow radius and quasinormal modes of a charged black hole in presence of quintessence. The result shows that the shadow radius decreases with the increase of the electric charge. The quasinormal modes are derived by the sixth WKB approximation method and shadow radius, respectively. For the fixed electric charge and multipole number, the values of the real and imaginary parts of the quasinormal modes decrease with the increase of the quintessence charge. When the value of the multipole number is large, the quasinormal modes derived by the two …
The multipole moments of stationary axially symmetric vacuum or electrovacuum spacetimes can be expressed in terms of the power series expansion coefficients of the Ernst potential on the axis. In this paper we present a simpler, more efficient calculation of the multipole moments, applying methods introduced by Bäckdahl and Herberthson. For the non-vacuum electromagnetic case, our results for the octupole and higher moments differ from the results already published in the literature. The reason for this difference is that we correct an earlier unnoticed mistake in the power series solution of…

It was shown in a recent paper [J. Math. Phys. 60, 102502 (2019)] that slowly lowering an electric charge into a Schwarzschild-Tangherlini (ST) black hole endows the final state with electric multipole fields, which implies the final state geometry is not Reissner-Nordström-Tangherlini in nature. This conclusion departs from the four-dimensional case in which the no-hair theorem (NHT) requires the final state to be a Reissner-Nordström black hole. To better understand this discrepancy clearly requires a deeper understanding of the origin of the multipole hair in the higher-dimensional case. In…
