Using a recently developed twistor expression of this idea, we use well-established techniques to show that the multipole moments of arbitrary vacuum type D gravity fields are straightforwardly mapped to their counterparts in gauge and biadjoint scalar theory by the single and zeroth copies. We cross-check our results using previously obtained results for the Kerr metric. Our results provide further physical intuition of how the double copy operates.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-08-17T15:47:35.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "double copy", "multipole expansion", "arbitrary vacuum type", "biadjoint scalar theory", "gravity theories" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 9, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
