abstract
Using a quasi-spherical approximation of an affine-null metric adapted to an asymptotic Bondi inertial frame, we present high order approximations of the metric functions in terms of the specific angular momentum for a slowly rotating stationary and axi-symmetric vacuum spacetime. The metric is obtained by following the procedure of integrating the hierarchy of Einstein equations in a characteristic formulation utilizing master functions for the perturbations. It is further verified its equivalence with the Kerr metric in the slowly rotation approximation by carrying out an explicit transformation between the Boyer-Lindquist coordinates to the employed affine-null coordinates.
