Here denotes the unreduced second mass moment tensor, distinct from its trace-free mass quadrupole moment. In coordinates referred to the chosen origin,
This expression uses . In SI units the leading nonrelativistic mass density is . For slowly moving point masses, , so
Kinetic corrections to the energy density are higher order in the velocity. The second mass moment tensor is not the mechanical moment of inertia tensor, which instead has components .
