Description
Summary:In this contribution, the classical tests of general relativity using the Gutsunaev-Manko metric with slow rotation are obtained. This metric represents the spacetime of an object endowed with mass, magnetic dipole moment and angular moment. These tests are the deflection of light, time delay, precession of the periastron and gravitational redshift. We also provide numerical estimations for real magnetars and magnetar candidates from the McGill magnetar catalogue, and for the Sun in the cycles of low activity. Our results find that the magnetic dipole contribution to the deflection of light is significant when compared to the rotation contribution. The magnetic dipole contributions to the periastron precession and the time delay are 3 and 6 orders of magnitude lower than the rotation contribution respectively. For the gravitational redshift, the contribution is negligible within the approximation presented.
