That's effectively the Schwarzschild solution unless the a star is rotating very fast.  You don't even have to make the assumption that the mass is concentrated at the center, you just assume spherical symmetry.

What I mean is not some simple minded answer such as solving for this or that tensor in the field equation, but something like this; suppose we consider a star of mass M, with all mass contained in its center for simplicity. How would we calculate the spacetime curvature in a region around this star? TY, AG
