Abstract

Using the conjugate complex variables formulation, closed‐form formulae for the gravity gradient tensors of the gravitational potential due to a homogeneous polyhedral body composed of polygonal facets are derived. The treatise considers the cases of the observation point being inside the polyhedron, on the surface of a facet, or outside the polyhedron.
