Abstract

Relativistic models of stellar structure are developed from two theories of gravitation. These are the Einstein general theory of relativity and the Brans-Dicke scalar-tensor theory. Each theory is examined in two cases -- the static star and the non-static star. These term refer to the motion of the particles of the star, rather than the motion of the star through space. The differential equations governing a spherically symmetric configuration of perfect fluid are developed for each model. Then methods for solving these equations numerically are developed. Finally the differential equations are solved numerically on a Univac 1108 computer and the results tabulated and discussed.
