abstract
The low frequency gravitational wave detectors like eLISA/NGO will give us the opportunity to test whether the supermassive compact objects lying at the centers of galaxies are indeed Kerr black holes. A way to do such a test is to compare the gravitational wave signals with templates of perturbed black hole spacetimes, the so-called bumpy black hole spacetimes. The Zipoy-Voorhees (ZV) spacetime (known also as the $\gamma$ spacetime) can be included in the bumpy black hole family, because it can be considered as a perturbation of the Schwarzschild spacetime background. Several authors have suggested that the ZV metric corresponds to an integrable system. Contrary to this integrability conjecture, in the present article it is shown by numerical examples that in general ZV belongs to the family of non-integrable systems.

External quadrupolar distortion imprints on orbital dynamics and accretion structure in thin disks around deformed compact objects, with the radiating region's outer edge tied to the radiation-to-gas pressure transition.
Deviations from γ=1 in the Zipoy-Voorhees metric shift the (z,w,v) classification of periodic orbits and induce phase shifts plus amplitude modulations in their gravitational-wave signals.
