= Redshifted gravitational mass of a static thin shell

A thin spherical shell of proper surface mass density $\rho$ held at Schwarzschild radius $r_{\rm st}$ around mass $M$ contributes, to first order in its mass,
$$
\Delta M_\infty
=4\pi r_{\rm st}^2\rho\sqrt{1-\frac{2M}{r_{\rm st}}}
$$
to the exterior Schwarzschild mass parameter.
