As an indispensable first step towards a more general analysis, we completely solve the “on brane” 4-dimensional Gauss and Codazzi equations for an arbitrary static spherically symmetric star in a Randall–Sundrum type II braneworld. We then indicate how this on-brane boundary data should be propagated into the bulk in order to determine the full 5-dimensional spacetime geometry. Finally, we demonstrate how this procedure can be generalized to solid objects such as planets.enJournal ArticleFields of Research::51 - Physical sciences::5101 - Astronomical sciences::510104 - Galactic astronomyhttps://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.67.104004
