Teleparallel Energy-Momentum Distribution of Lewis-Papapetrou Spacetimes
In this paper, we find the energy-momentum distribution of stationary axisymmetric spacetimes in the context of teleparallel theory by using M$\ddot{o}$ller prescription. The metric under consideration is the generalization of the Weyl metrics called the Lewis-Papapetrou metric. The class of stationary axisymmetric solutions of the Einstein field equations has been studied by Galtsov to include the gravitational effect of an {\it external} source. Such spacetimes are also astrophysically important as they describe the exterior of a body in equilibrium. The energy density turns out to be non-vanishing and well-defined and the momentum becomes constant except along $θ$-direction. It is interesting to mention that the results reduce to the already available results for the Weyl metrics when we take $ω=0$.
