Abstract

The Schwarzschild metric is a relevant example of an exact solution of the Einstein equations with important physical applications. It is the only spherically symmetric vacuum solution of the Einstein equations and usually it can well approximate the gravitational field of slowly-rotating astrophysical objects like stars and planets.
