OV or TOV?

Abstract: The well-known equation for hydrostatic equilibrium in a static spherically symmetric spacetime supported by an isotropic perfect fluid is referred to as the Oppenheimer-Volkoff (OV) equation or the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff (TOV) equation in various General Relativity textbooks or research papers. We scrutinize the relevant original publications to argue that the former is the more appropriate terminology.

“…where ( 2), ( 3) and ( 4) are taken from ( 6), ( 7) and (9) of [1], respectively. We used the simpler LCEM equation instead of the complicated 22-component of the EFE (also because EFE-22 is second-order).…”

“…An effective thermodynamical formalism involving generalized entropic functionals of the form S = − C(f ) drdv was developed by Chavanis [214-221, 223, 224] who gave various interpretations of these functionals. 7 There is debate [233][234][235] on the name that should be given to these equations: OV or TOV? As far as we can judge, Eq.…”
