Quadrupole Moment of a Magnetically Confined Mountain on an Accreting Neutron Star in General Relativity

General relativistic corrections are calculated for the quadrupole moment of a magnetically confined mountain on an accreting neutron star. The hydromagnetic structure of the mountain satisfies the general relativistic Grad–Shafranov equation supplemented by the flux-freezing condition of ideal magn...
