Anisotropic Spheres in General Relativity
Abstract
A prescription originally conceived for perfect fluids is extended to the case of anisotropic pressure. The method is used to obtain exact analytical solutions of the Einstein equations for spherically-symmetric self-gravitating distribution of anisotropic matter. The solutions are matched to the Schwarzschild exterior metric.
