The station's proper rest mass is
A static local energy at radius contributes the redshifted energy
to the mass measured at infinity. To first order in , the exterior mass parameter is therefore
Terms quadratic in describe the shell's self-gravity and are neglected.
The exterior of the shell is vacuum and spherically symmetric. The Birkhoff theorem therefore makes it a Schwarzschild spacetime with mass :
This is the redshifted gravitational mass of a static thin shell.
