Abstract

The mass of a system in general relativity cannot be defined locally. Thus, one defines mass at quasilocal level. There are many definitions of quasilocal mass. One of them is the Hawking mass. In this paper, we determine the Hawking mass for ellipsoidal 2-surface for a non-Schwarzschild spacetime. In order to do this, we first determine a null tetrad and then compute the Hawking mass. The results are presented graphically also.
